Fortunately, it's only been a month and his approval rating is already plummeting. I doubt him proclaiming himself "Eternal Sovereign of America" would bode well with Americans, but who knows. His true fans seem completely oblivious to the insanity of what he does.

47.9% approval, 47.2% disapproval[0]. I don't see a plummet on this aggregate and he's still got net approval.

I've seen different polls, in which disapproval is slightly higher than approval, but anyways, we're still supposed to be in the honey moon period. And even your polls show a dip. We'll see.

1 month time out of 4 years is not really representative, by any statistical means. And as pointed out in the article, controlling information and removing anything which stands in between is key to success:

> Bureaucracy and the press are two entities of the “Cathedral” that, in the new vision, obstruct accelerationism. If these elements disappear (or are totally discredited), it will very likely be the turn of the universities and NGOs.

> All these institutions are considered outdated, and there will be attempts to replace or reinvent them with parallel institutions that use more Artificial Intelligence, and are run like private companies.

Yes, I can only hope this first month is the start of a lasting trend. Also, controlling the media can only do so much to mask material reality, if things get really dire really quickly.
