'Veel van de rijkste, meest bevoorrechte mensen verachten #Trump, maar onder druk van autoritair pestgedrag en afpersingspolitiek buigen en paaien zij.

Trump heeft in zijn tweede termijn de macht niet gegrepen, we hebben die aan hem overhandigd.'

Harvard politicoloog #StevenLevitsky @nrc.nl

How to Tell If Your President Is a Dictator A year into Donald Trump’s second term, labeling his governing style remains an elusive goal.

“John Kelly has said that #Trump ‘certainly falls into the general definition of #fascist.’ But a truly fascist form of government? ‘The #UnitedStates is nowhere remotely near that,’ #StevenLevitsky, the Harvard scholar of #authoritarianism, told me” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

DER SPIEGEL : Monsieur Levitsky, la démocratie américaine est-elle en danger ? STEVEN LEVITSKY : Nous assistons actuellement à l’effondrement de notre démocratie. Sous Donald Trump, les États-Unis basculent dans une forme d’autoritarisme. Ce ne sera sans doute pas irréversible.

@spiegel.de #StevenLevitsky "Trump & Republicans are more openly authoritarian than figures like Viktor Orbán in Hungary or Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. Rather, they are worse, eagerly embrace authoritarianism refusing to comply with court orders & attacking justices" www.spiegel.de/internationa...

#StevenLevitsky referred to @teslatakedown.com a "little old lady" movement and patronizingly said "God bless them that they protest at Tesla" on @maddow.msnbc.com This"Harvard man"views are ageist, misogynist and ignorant. #StevenLevitsky please join us in Boston and Watertown 4/19.

"Die USA hören gerade auf, eine Demokratie zu sein" Donald Trump verwandelt sein Land in einen autokratischen Staat. Die Gründerväter der USA haben eine wichtige Entwicklung nicht vorhergesehen.

#StevenLevitsky
Autor des Bestsellers:
"Wie Demokratien sterben"

‘People Are Going Silent’: Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

"When you see important societal actors... changing their behavior in order to avoid the wrath of the government, that’s a sign that we’ve crossed the line into some form of authoritarianism." #StevenLevitsky, @harvard.edu professor of government

The New Authoritarianism: This Isn’t Single-Party Rule, But It’s Not Democracy Either

America is sliding into competitive authoritarianism, where elections happen but power is abused. In his latest article, #StevenLevitsky breaks down how Trump is weaponizing government institutions to tilt the playing field.

The Path to American Authoritarianism What comes after democratic breakdown.
