 This is a mischaracterization though.

The upcoming election may decide if WW3 breaks out or not. I'm in Poland and the risk for escalation between Nato and Russia is a real threat.

The establishment in most Western countries are overwhelmingly in favor of a war escalation, while they just by accident also have demonized Trump for 8 years.

Some people in Poland have been jailed in the last year for simply being in favor of war de-escalation and peace talks.

In Sweden, many workers in vital infrastructure are not allowed to leave Sweden or change their job because they are placed under a war preparedness plan designed to protect critical infrastructure in the case of war.

In relations to the US elections, the establishment in most Western countries desire a particular political outcome which is for an escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, pro-Agenda 21, pro-Agenda 2030, pro-climate alarmism, pro-CBDC, anti-Bitcoin and for energy de-industrialization.

There is no savior involved here.

People should keep their savings in Bitcoin and speak up for individual liberties, private property rights, anti-censorship, anti-CBDC and for energy policies that can power a modern civilization.

This is why people are engaged.
It has nothing to do with saviors.
