There's no "crisis" right now for Wall Street, defense contractors, lobbyists, and all the assorted grifters who profit from the political system as currently constituted. The surface-level "crisis" peddled on Cable News and the daily take machine doesn't imperil those elements.

At the same time really authoritarian regimes (outside of war or real emergency) like the Nazis tended to use the "incrementalism" strategy so that there was no perception of rapid changes in everyday life. Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" is a great book on that.
