    The definition of fascist flows over into our current state of authoritarianism. The term is often used rather recklessly for a catch-all of political dissatisfaction.

    Now that the remarkable individual liberty restrictions of the Covid era are behind us, can you give us a description of our "current state of authoritarianism" and what impact that has on our lives?

    Replacing leading civil servants with sock puppets, challenging the judicial system with presidential powers, demonizing of the press along with challenges of frivolous but disruptive lawsuits, evoking faux emergency powers to use executive authority to impose tariffs and impose excessive force to enforce immigration laws, going to war without the approval of congress or the American people, and also especially denial of the electoral process of free election outcomes, ie the big lie.
