Which is, of course, why every non-US Western country operates in the "vibe around absorbing corruptionbux and not missiles" mode.
After all, who in a post-scarcity society would want a repeat of the early 1940s?

"I'm declaring your race irredeemably evil for historical crimes"
Or its related cousin, "I'm declaring your sex irredeemably evil for historical crimes", which is what the entire West has been doing for about the last 60 years or so.
about certain noble lies and keeping inconvenient data locked behind extremely secure doors
Or "respect" for short.
Let's think about a recent populist spasm- BLM: the noble lie we tell is that cops are to a degree beyond reproach, that movement sought to refute that, and it did billions of dollars of damage and lead to a 5-digit death toll of the population the populists claimed they were protecting (though indirectly as a result of higher crime rate, but if 'stupid people at the controls' includes Mao's policy of causing a famine due to killing sparrows, this counts too). A clear-cut case of populist stupidity.
The higher death tolls of the 20th century are magnified compared to today in part because the 20th century hadn't solved scarcity like the 21st has.

I'd say they don't like change
In other words, they're "conservatives". They don't like that name because in their worldview (informed by a memeplex that began in the '60s that they applied despite its ideas being objectively too advanced for them) it means they're the bad guys.
I think the term TDS is perfectly appropriate for both dislike of the man and dislike of the change, because the former is how conservatives launder the latter.
The problem with (2) is that I would not say the vast majority of objectors fall into that category, because if it was you'd find quite a bit more measured discourse rather than, y'know, what we see right now. And half of these also tend to fall back into TDS by going "Trump stupid, reeeeee", which you can see in every thread that talks about the guy on this forum, to say nothing of what happens in the wider world.
And at that point, you end up causing a crisis and delivering the government back to the very people you wanted to remove from power. You put on a flashy show, but just end up as a small detour in Cthulhu's leftward swim.
That's just kind of the nature of government, though. However, I would mention that Cthulhu swims rightward- towards the conservative and the local maxima of corruption (International SJWery, at present)- not leftward, which is more just general chaos.

far more than the total amount of abuse by religious figures.
Teachers are religious figures. The Christian Right was correct when they made this observation back when they were a relevant political force, but they also believed that was in large part a good thing and were as such unwilling to actually do anything about it.
Which is in part why they got away with it even when the gender balance was closer to 50/50 than it is today, and now that it's shifted further into a majority-female profession, that gender's sexual abuse is harder to prosecute because [for the 50% of the population that doesn't benefit from being able to do it], a significant portion of men don't believe it's a coherent concept, and even if they do, they think that the only way it happens is not actually destructive (re: South_Park_Nice.jpg).
Yet, if you believe the statistics that show this population 'abuses' students in the male mode at a far higher rate than men did at their peak, it's likely that the female mode of sexual abuse occurs at an even higher rate than that.

Has everyone forgotten the gay marriage debate so quickly?
I mean, you'll find people forgetting that Western society literally went full Nazi 6 years ago and destroyed ~20% of planetary wealth (mostly through inflation) in an ill-fated attempt to cure a particularly nasty variant of the common cold.
So not only is 20 years ago ancient history, but the loudest contingent opposing it has shrunk by half due to a dynamic best described by actuarial tables. People who were 60 and driving the opposition to gayness in 2008 are 78 now, so half of them are dead and the other half have been brainrotted by social media, usually into TDS (these are the kinds of people you see at No Kings protests).
Children need both their parents
Yeah, that's not what the people who came of age during the '70s (and so are 65-70 right now) think (remember, divorce was [simplification] legalized at that time), which is why it's not a big deal for them to have family units with 2 'parents' of the same sex. Which is why once the last generation grew too old to combat it, that "need" was done away with.
conservatives
Conservatives have conserved nothing.

And now they want to tell us that if there is some creep who is jerking off to nude pictures of five-year-olds, that is a civilizational emergency and we need to bug everyone's phones to stop it.
This is just general man-hating; the women who vote for those parties want the power to ban all men jerking off to nude pictures of women (so that men can be maximally exploited by women) and 5 year olds are just the motte of that argument. Traditionalists (or more loosely, 'Christian conservatives') and progressives are in agreement that this is a thing that should happen and the language differences between the two groups are just bikeshedding.
Half of them are in a church which a mere generation ago was systematically enabling priests to sexually abuse kids.
And their opponents are progressives, who are... also systematically enabling priests to sexually abuse kids, but it's totally different this time because instead of men in churches with an abusive hand it's women in schools with an abusive mouth.

The entire anti federalist argument against the bill of rights was that people may assume that what was not written meant the government could invade those rights. The response was the 9th and 10th.
Which, it turns out, was completely and trivially correct (the 9th was poorly-written but it's not like they could have done any better at the time)- they already invade the ones that are written down and invent novel legal theories to do so; how much worse would it be for the ones that are not (and are unpopular enough that would need a right to protect them)?

Rather, it's reasonable to look at both sides of the equation, so to speak.
Yes, that's called "victim blaming", and here's your obligatory apoplexy about how this means little girls will now get raped because they clearly wanted it.
The right way to deal with that is just to ignore it. Men are slowly learning to do that, but it's not an instinctual thing for them to do, so it's going to take another few decades for them to evolve far enough to have a healthy response to this.
So abuse might be happening, but they lack the cognitive symbols that would allow them to actually conceptualize it as abuse.
And of those that can conceptualize it as abuse, they can't communicate that effectively.
To provide a concrete example, this is why the first label a traditionalist reaches for is "pedophilia" when [female] teachers teach 7 year olds they're transgender- and it's also why normies find that claim completely incoherent.
Ironically, to formulate effective cognitive symbols in that way, you have to think like [and value yourself as] a woman [would]. And I don't think many men really want to do that, and so with the choice they have they choose not to think at all.
AIUI, the protestors came first. The US was too slow to respond; by the time the air support showed up their infantry and their command structure were already dead.
If that's the case, this suggests an intelligence failure more than anything else- if they had waited for the US to show up, maybe they'd be in charge now. But they aren't.
