Google Meet Session A
1) We are in a moment of authoritarian breakthrough.
This is a short window in which a would-be authoritarian regime attempts to rapidly consolidate power. This is worse than it was in the first Trump administration, and we can't wait for elections to prevent things from getting worse.
2) Donald Trump did not write the authoritarian playbook.
What he does may make our democracy unsteady, but it’s not a completely new invention. Authoritarians around the world have used these tactics to try to hold onto power. Authoritarianism in the US did not begin with Donald Trump, and will not end with him. But we also have a playbook for defeating it.
3) We can learn tactics and strategies to fight against this.
These are from people in other parts of the globe who have fought and won against authoritarians.
