    1. To be fair, we haven’t been a democracy since the Citizens United decision.

      Funny how scholars are given credit for detecting what is obvious to many of us down here in the teeming masses, too busy being oppressed to have a „news“ article speak for us.

      RFK just told us to not listen to experts so we should probably just keep our heads in the sand about all this.

      I’m begging people to stop viewing these things like an on/off switch for democracy.

      It isn’t ever fully here. It isn’t ever fully gone.

      Do you need a scholar to enunciate such an obvious fact? While republicans do nothing and are complicit in his acts of power grabbing bullshit.

      To visually demonstrate „authoritarian, not democratic“ one could expect to see images of armed military patrolling the streets of the capital city.

    7. Scholars?? The drunk rambling guy who was released from our country hospital after being taken off his psych meds just told me this outside of a Casey’s 20 minutes ago.

      Yea it’s not just scholars saying it. How do we think the states looks, to the rest of the world, right now?

      Time to stop bickering about details, no?

      Who cares if these scholars are stating the obvious? Who gives a shit if centrists are hypocrites? What does it matter if the progressives are ‚woke‘ nutjobs‘?

      Are we going to snark our way out of a fight?

      If you’re against Trump, please realize: it’s way past the point of ‚working out our differences.‘ It’s time to unite, to organize, and prepare for a fight.

      Because it’s coming, whether you like it or not.

    10. His supporters are both too ignorant and too indifferent to do anything about it.

      yes of course, an authoritarianism so finely tuned and nuanced that it passes for normal life. scholars squint, everyone else shrugs, and the world hums along just nicely.

      America is the most free than it has ever been, because of President Donald J. Trump. WE LOVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT!

      At least they haven’t been jailed or worse for saying it? Yet?

      But I’m sure that’s the next level down in this elevator ride to the bottom.

    14. It was never a democracy. You guys have gerrymandering, first past the post, voter suppression, no independent electoral commission. It has *never* been a democratic system.

      If a Dem, or someone actually for the people, did half the economic stuff Trump is doing, the military and CIA would declare martial law.

      the nation’s premiere scholars on fascism fled months ago, this isn’t new.

    17. Doesn’t take a scholar to figure this one out…

      ICE quite literally has a higher budget now than every other country’s own military on the planet except for China. Trump is creating his own personal army
