(Wikipedia) Totalitarianism is a form of government and a political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaws individual and group opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high if not complete degree of control and regulation over public and private life. It is regarded as the most extreme and complete form of authoritarianism.

      I don’t even think democracy with accountability will stay good. 30% of the US voters have checked out of reality and are voting based on lies they want to believe.

        Agreed. Although, I do not believe its the voters/citizens fault. Indoctrination and propaganda are powerfull tools of the state.

          They aren’t even necessarily “of the state” since rich people can often participate in those influence campaigns as well.
