Note sull'episodio

There is an ongoing debate on if President Trump wants to be a dictator. Let's take a look at these claims but to understand what we are talking about we need to understand the difference between autocracies (dictatorships) and democracies.

There are four main parts to this episode. Part one talks about characteristics of democracies. Part two details types of autocracies and characteristics of dictators. Part three analyzes claims of democratic backsliding in the U.S. with examples. The final part is my analysis on if President Trump will become a dictator.
