John,
A year into Trump’s return, his conduct this year alone qualifies him as authoritarian by any serious definition.
Politicizing independent institutions:
Trump is blocking the full release of the Epstein files. The law says release them. He refuses. The DOJ is protecting pedophiles at Trump’s direction.
Spreading disinformation:
He calls protests in Minnesota and Portland “insurrections.” They are not. He lies so force looks justified.
Aggrandizing executive power:
He flatly ignores Congress and drops U.S. military force in Venezuela because constitutional limits mean nothing to him.
Quashing dissent:
Federal agents rough up protesters, threaten reporters, and flood the streets in Minneapolis and Portland to teach the public what happens when you resist.
Scapegoating vulnerable communities:
Immigrants and their defenders get blamed, raided, shot at, and demonized so cruelty looks like order.
Corrupting elections:
In a January 2026 Reuters interview, he said we should not even have midterm elections. He is saying the quiet part out loud.
Stoking violence:
He sends armed federal forces into cities, escalates conflict, then points to the chaos as proof he needs more power.
The situation is clear. The choice now is to comply or be brave.
