It is the height of folly to think that we are not in a dangerous place in our country under Trump, contrary to what Benjamin says. We must not lull ourselves into thinking that the Constitution is not under attack, when Congress is not consulted before the country goes to war, nor is it consulted before Billions of dollars are spent on military, or when Congressional leadership abdicates its use of power to defend their legislative territory over executive actions which are un-Constitutional.
We may not be a full-fledged autocracy, yet, according to your definition, but we are well on the way if the Citizenry does not demand a different path by holding their Representatives accountable. To do that, Citizens must be more active in voting than they have been. They, most of all, need FREE press to explain the ramifications of legislative non-action and executive actions which are counter to Constitutional Law. Judges and Courts can do only so much to save us. This government can do a lot of damage to this country and the psyche of the American people with the help of Media and Social Media before the next elections.
