A Wannabe Authoritarian Hard At Work We are living through the playbook

"The scapegoating that is so important to weaponizing grievances and winning power is flourishing under Trump’s direction. And the purges in the power agencies that are so important to securing governmental power for the aspiring authoritarian, are underway." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-wannabe-...
