We should fear the power hungry; the ruthless people who will do anything, damage anyone to achieve their goals.
The worst of these are the ideologues; the ones who blindly believe their religion, whether it be spiritual, secular, political, financial or anything else they have turned into something they worship. Putin and Xi fit into the ideologue category, craving the power they need to bring their ideological dreams into reality.
We in the US have our share of the ideologues and more than our share in elected office at the highest levels.
I, as a citizen of the US, don't fear the Supreme Court's recent rulings which I believe are constitutionally sound. I am concerned but not yet afraid of the grassroots level ideologues, the "useful idiots" rioting, protesting and threatening because they don't agree with those decisions.
