When I wrote ‘The Atlantic Looks Forward to Americas Next Great Authoritarian‘ I did not know that Glenn Greenwald would shortly write a very similar article. He too considered Trump’s supposed legacy as an authoritarian and found the evidence wanting on much the same grounds as I did. He too followed up this initial ‘legacy’ […]
