Authoritarianism wants you to feel like you’re drowning in chaos — headlines of breaking news, after breaking news. Here are 4️⃣ questions you can ask yourself to help spot genuine threats to our democracy.

Is the action tangible, actionable, and detailed? Or intangible, abstract, and vague? When [Trump] leaves the details vague, we, collectively, cannot help ourselves. We try to fill them in. But — if Trump’s past promises are any guide — intangibility is a pretty good indicator that a proposal is a less-than-pressing concern. Does this thing cause irreparable harm to real people? Deploying the military to conduct immigration raids and rounding people into mass camps is a major threat. An unspecified announcement (likely via Truth Social post) suggesting future plans to bully folks — as scary as that sounds — may not be. Does this action target the opposition in a way that may cause anticipatory obedience? By targeting individual politicians, companies, civil servants, nonprofits, donors, media outlets, and journalists, [Trump] can cow hundreds or thousands of others into a more submissive and defensive posture. Does this entrench the authoritarian faction in power and make it more difficult to dislodge? Trump and his supporters’ unifying goal will be to entrench themselves in power, indefinitely. Not necessarily by canceling elections outright, to be clear, but rather by tilting the political playing field so much that they’re unlikely to ever lose power through elections (or other means).
