I think if I lived in a truly authoritarian country I'd be a bit taken aback to have my situation equated to that of Americans'.

Only because you think authoritarian means poor.
Yes Americans do not understand how lucky they are.
Republicans are in every way trying to turn this into an authoritarian hellhole. "Cruelty is the point" is a phrase used with regards to right-wing politics in America. We're heading in the worst direction possible, but it takes a bit longer and more work to get a country the size of America with different states to become fully authoritarian. It doesn't happen overnight like it can in small countries.
