Great article, but it saddens me to see a country with so much respect and awe threatening to become an authoritarian state. For people like me, who come from a world where this form of abuse of authority is typical, I never thought it could happen in your country. This is the moment for America to prove it is indeed the city on a hill. Despite its blemishes, the democratic system that has been the envy of the world is maintained by law-abiding citizens with remarkable forbearance, allowing it to endure decade after decade. Now is the time to show the world that you are indeed different and resilient. I wish you all the very best of luck and to stand by you as you navigate this darkness.

Anyone who fails to see that Trump wants to be a Dictator after the stamp of Putin is illiterate, blind or thinks that totalitarianism is a good thing. America has been led gently along a path that has become a precipice. On continuing to fall over into this space that includes governmental terror enforcement, free will will be suspended. I don't think that President Trump's statement 'If you elect me you will never have to vote again' was anything other than prophetic. God bless America, that once great country needs all the blessings it can get.

"The United States is on the path to authoritarianism, according to experts. So worrying are the signs, in fact, that American democracy may cease to exist in the near future." These are the same experts that are losing their power and wealth. This article is a complete joke. Trump is reestablishing power to the people. Plain and simple and that scares the hell out of the DEEP STATE.
