Technically, a lot of what happened happened under cover of darkness. Normal people knew things were bad, but not just how bad they actually were. Kinda like now. Normal people have no idea this shit is happening. Normal people here in Canada have no idea churches are being confiscated and pastors arrested.

Most normal people are cluing into the fact that things are not right, that the world is full of clowns. They have no clue that the clowns are actually demons and things are already accelerating beyond control.
