That was an important shift for her which I omitted (The End of America) though it seemed more reaction against the Bush/Cheney regime and once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world. If by his second term said liberals could not see that Obama was probably worse than Bush in many respects (4 countries instead of 2, droning, HC mandates, bank bailouts, surveillance ramped up) then it wasn't until the "dangerous" Trump that they were magically activated again against their better judgement, and finally 2020 to realize, there is one party working on behalf of a global machine against all citizens.

" ... once Obama was elected, as many liberals assumed, all was well with their world."

This is probably true of Naomi Wolf. I think even she will admit that it took Covid to completely rock her belief system to its core and to understand - or at least to suspect - how the world is actually run. My faith aside, I know that I no longer believe most of the things I may have believed three years ago.
