Rachel Maddow, back to her show on Mondays, strongly criticizes President Trump's second term as an authoritarian crisis. She emphasizes the grassroots resistance forming against it, asserting that the current government, not an insurgency, represents the threat. During her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she explored Trump's governance lacking in learning and likened it to a fixation on fantasy concepts, like restoring Alcatraz as a symbol of justice, despite its actual condition.
"We are in the midst of an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the U.S. government, and it is not by an insurgent movement... It's the party in power."
"There was no learning. The personalization of government means you're depending on the personal competence of the guy in charge - and that's a limiting factor."
