Trump's election strongly goes against this. It's approaching late stage democracy with increased demagoguery.
Tbf though, it is becoming way more authoritative. They just suspended a shit load of freedoms for something as pathetic as covid, and gun laws have been hammered down for ages. And you're right about the War on Terror pushing the state towards more totalitarian means too.
I think it's now down to corporations though, or some sinister plot by the state. People generally care little for freedom nowadays and are happy to get rid of them for a little security.
The USA is an inverted totalitarian regime
