As former immigrants from authoritarian countries reflect on the Trump administration, many draw unsettling parallels between its tactics and the regimes they fled. A February survey indicated that a significant number of U.S.-based scholars believe the country is drifting from a liberal democracy toward authoritarianism. Harvard professor Steven Levitsky emphasizes that while Trump was elected, his administration exhibits authoritarian behavior through systematic manipulation of government powers. Conversely, some immigrants, like Lily Tang Williams, argue that actions taken by the Biden administration evoke sentiments closer to authoritarianism than those of Trump, particularly regarding censorship.
This is an elected government, obviously, but it is behaving as an authoritarian one. It is engaging in a rapid and systematic weaponization of the machinery of government.
Who censored us during the COVID times [and] put us in Facebook jail? It was not Trump. Trump himself was censored.
