All my life I have studied democratization and autocratization. My 1st field trip was to newly democratic Argentina. I then added autocracies to my portfolio: Cuba, Ven, etc. I think I can recognize the stages of transition to authoritarianism. Here are the boxes Trump has already checked off.
And perhaps without even knowing it, he is paving the way for his own ouster
I know people like comparing Trump to Putin, but this chaotic rule by decree while state capacity declines and the opposition increasingly views him as unfit to govern is much more reminiscent of Yeltsin's first term.
