I don't think antidepressants or therapy are to blame. It's propaganda that's to blame. Americans are flooded with propaganda to an extreme degree and to a large extent, they believe it.
Your explanation only covers one side, those who are satisfied by the status quo. The argument is about people who aren't, for which the commenter made the observation that people who undergo therapy and take medications are less likely to violently fight the system that they hate.
I think that even people who are dissatisfied are affected by it, because they also have propaganda affecting their ideas of how to make things better.
For example, a large part of MAGA's appeal is blaming people's problems on immigrants and promising to do something about them.
Others simply think that there is nothing that they can do, or that only certain types of resistance are acceptable.
