What is with the enshitification of everything this last year? Is it because we didn’t actively overthrow the government through the Trump bs?

Close, it's because they did it, failed, and (so far) suffered no consequences for doing so. Pretty well signaled that it's open season for pulling whatever dystopian totalitarian crap you want and the worst that can happen is it won't work.
