I think he realized the US's turn towards fascism and amp up the right-wing rhetoic to secure his adjustment of status. AFIAK, he is still a citizen of South Africa, and I'm not even sure if he has permanent residency in the US, or just some visa. I think he's bootlicking to make sure he doesn't get deported to South Africa.
And he's a cishet white man, so this spiral into fascism doesn't affect him, which is why he's too blind to see the shit that's been happening.
And its also the fact that he criticized South Africa and China too much, he just has to keep his mouth shut about the US to stay out of trouble, kinda similar to how Snowden went against the US, and now he is in a situation where he can't criticize the Russian government.
