"The attack of Trump and his MAGA supporters on the courts and the rule of law has illustrated how quickly the United States is sliding from democracy to authoritarianism. “'Honest to god, I’ve never seen anything like it,' Harvard political scientist Steven Levitsky told Amanda Taub of the New York Times."
