My scholarship from fifteen years ago on Building an Authoritarian Regime is unfortunately getting real, and the mechanism I described for managing democracy is in operation now.
Venting at Democrats and Fearing Trump, Liberal Donors Pull Back Cash

Democracies don't die because of citizens are polarized.
Democracies die when when the business elite is co-opted.
This is what my research has shown, unlike the existingliterature.

Yes, it does matter if an AI programme could later erase entire works, publications, and books, art and theories, and ideologies that a regime might deem subversive. We may reach a time where what we know about the past and present will be manicured and controlled by governments.

As a professor of politics, I never thought my paper Hayek vs. Trump: The Radical Right’s Road to Serfdom (with N Cowen) would become reality. The road to authoritarianism isn’t just populism—it’s the co-option of business. I thought we were done with this in 2020 but here it comes again. #Democracy

The problem with many current power holders is that they don't even keep up appearances anymore.
Historically, this was usually a recipe for trouble, but they simple don't care. With the available technology, they have mastered the process of manufacturing beliefs and crushing dissent
