In a recent installment of The Political Scene, Andrew Marantz and Tyler Foggatt discuss the state of American democracy in the context of Donald Trump's second term. They explore how Trump's executive actions, amidst significant workforce cuts and deportations, raise questions about the limits of presidential power. Marantz uses Viktor Orbánâs Hungary as a framework to evaluate the risks of autocracy and the push against democratic values, examining measures that could help reverse any democratic backsliding.
Marantz applies Viktor Orbán's Hungary as a lens to analyze the potential slide toward autocracy in the U.S., identifying Trumpâs actions beyond standard executive power.
The discussion highlights key distinctions between offensive yet permissible presidential actions and those that threaten constitutional governance, raising concerns about democratic fragility.
