Sure. But You don't really understand human nature... imo. Humans are animals, they follow the strong leader and abandon all civility when it suits their survival.

Take the current Ukraine, Russia war. Things are not that bad for the ppl who criticize the west, just censorship, defamation, sometimes losing their job etc.. But it could go worse, they could get hunted. You think this is outside the real of possibilities. I think it is very possible.

Humans also make use of scapegoats. How difficult would it be for western normies to blame Russia for the next economic crisis? Very easy. That's the US and western strategy. They can't declare war on Russia immediately because most young males in the west are apathetic. One strategy is to cyclically change the war-making Party from R to D. The Rep are used and abused and their memory of the Bush admin lying to them is fresh. Hence the party pushing for war now is the Dem party. If you have knowledge of US politics you know this is true.
