An exquisite piece of work here and rich public database of information.

American Autocracy Threat Tracker
A comprehensive catalog based on Donald Trump and his associates’ plans, promises, and propositions

The Table of Contents says it all.

...

Here’s what I mean by the Table of Contents says it all.⬇️

And the infomation under each of these headings simply speaks for itself.

justsecurity.org/92714/american…

Parts I and II are about former President Trump’s “I want to be a dictator for one day” comment. He said he’d invoke those powers for immigration and energy policy.

This passage from the Introduction puts that comment in its political context and is a powerful wakeup call.⬇️ Image
