I think what is happening is that they have not been honest with what has happened to the US and western economies the last 50 years.
Truthfully the UK and West Europe felt it first and then the PIGS with austerity and now it is sinking in that the US, Canada and Australia are in the same boat.
Middle class life in the UK and Europe was very lean in the 80s and then the PIGS in 90s and 2000s.
But US citizens that never travel abroad lack this perspective and now it hits them like a ton of bricks.
After the 2008 "Great Recession" and the plandemic it is clear that they are not being honest with the state of the US economy. Fake cheap money has run its course and now the life of a US citizen is nearly equivalent to a Greek citizen that tries to scrape by on 900 Euros every month.
The advantage US citizens still have over Europe and Canadians are jobs but is shrinking as well due to AI. But Europeans do enjoy a better quality of life with food and rest.
On a deeper level the reason why people are frustrated is that the still see the same status quo and from their view not enough disclosure has happened so far or even progress.
That is a fair criticism but as we have seen a key component of this admistration is transparency and being a public face all over media. President Trump is debriefing news reporters on Air Force One as an example.
Bondi serves a purpose to keep people engaged so when they roll out all the info they have on the DS it will sink into people's brains.
To detox and undo brainwashing over decades via media can not be done in a mere day or week. But it will take time which is why the current administration is moving with purpose. Granted taking too much time is what the swamp wants as they want to run out the clock. So it is a delicate balance of information coming at light speed and how to convey that info in the information age.
A lot of the stock market relies on business abroad and that is why it is a shock to the markets. Some businesses will adjust and come back to USA while others grapple how they will absorb tariff costs because passing those cost onto the customer is tough.
That is the power of psyops.
Another good example of psyops is how the media said Americans ran out of covid stimuls money in the winter of 2023. But economic activity keeps chugging along and we know most of the stimulus money was spent, invested or saved years earlier.
