'If You Can Keep It': Competitive Authoritarianism 101
"LONG LIVE THE KING!"
President Donald Trump posted that self-referential statement on Truth Social last week. He was celebrating his attempt to kill congestion pricing in New York City.
And several weeks ago, Trump declared, "He who saves his country does not violate any law."
His administration's actions are clear. They appear to be abandoning the American democracy we know. We discuss what a new American government could look like if our system of democracy no longer holds, and what it means for you, regardless of your political affiliation.
