All 4 (now present) in Trump Presidency:
Tyranny-
1. Open hostility to verifiable reality and #FreePress
(Use of words “Hoax” or “Fake.”
2. Shamanistic incarnation- phrases used such as “lock her up” “build that wall.” And now....”Angry mob.” “Mob Rule.” Dazed by chants

And...... “No doubt the Russians who voted in 1990 did not think that this would be the last free and fair election in their country’s history, which (thus far) it has been.” @TimothyDSnyder #Tyranny
“Rarely in this country has the less popular of the two parties controlled every level of power at the federal level, as well as the majority of statehouses.” @TimothyDSnyder
“Where annual elections end, tyranny begins.”
