The move from 4T to 1T is in part a cultural transition. A sanitized, omnibus culture and a political order with little tolerance for corruption indicates that it is going 1T, and anything that gets in the way is in deep trouble -- like fascists who thought that the United States was a heavily-divided, corrupt, decadent society. America was showing plenty of signs of a 1T with a clear demonstration that an omnibus culture was forming and that criminality was no longer tolerated.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
