Democracy experts agree that President Donald Trump is pushing America towards autocracy with little sign of stopping.
The New York Times' Editorial Board launched a chilling “autocracy tracker” for the United States on Friday. The piece outlines twelve ways that a democracy becomes an autocracy, and asserts that America has slipped backwards in all twelve categories.
“Our country is still not close to being a true autocracy, in the mold of Russia or China. But once countries begin taking steps away from democracy, the march often continues,” warned the Times board.
