We're literally seeing the authoritarian playbook in action. Key points:
1. Democrats and the media don't know what to do. They've never been in this situation before.
2. In the absence of a catalyzing event, it's easy for leaders like Trump to slowly suffocate our democracy while people tune out.

Most people (Democrats) I talked to during election days didn’t believe there could actually be a coup. “We have checks and balances,” they said.
Hitler dismantled democracy in 53 days. Presidents Trump and Musk are on track to beat that record.

Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

This is exactly what I’ve been saying since I I spent many hours phone banking with Wisconsin Dems. It was eye-opening. I always believed that people are fundamentally good. I now see how much hate they hold in their hearts. And we have a congress that won't protect us.
