We're dealing with some seriously scary possibilities from the convergence of technology, data collection, and critical theory madness.
You've seen Captain America: Winter Soldier, right? Take out the flying aircraft carriers, and then you have a premise that is pretty feasible. People's data history could be used to determine their individual political beliefs, within a certain probability. Enough time has been spent with enough people using the internet that an authoritarian government could clear out all of people that would resist.
Something like that is still quite a ways off as long as people are still divided at close to 50% – at least I would hope. But what's concerning is the clear attempt to indoctrinate children with false history and omissions of important facts. That could very easily tip that balance as generations pass away and new ones grow up.
