The authoritarian right's playbook is simple but brilliantly effective.

The roadmap ends with a strong man dictator that has removed any and all hurdles towards absolute power so that the agenda can be implemented without compromise.

Any roadblock towards this is called "anti-democratic" which is the ultimate irony as those preaching it fully support the end of democracy.

The US is now an inch away from being a dictatorship as the last line of defense, judges, are under severe attack. They're targeted to be impeached, called "radical left" and Musk is throwing money at flipping votes.

This process is happening in several countries and it's baffling how many people eat it up, including in these comments.

I suppose it is true that democracy is fragile and that with a few nudges people vote to dismantle it themselves.

All of the people who remember the last round of fascism in the 1920s to 1940s are dying off, only those of us who never experienced it are left.
