If we turn our backs on that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return. Whenever a democracy slides into autocracy, there are five critical elements at work: financiers, propagandists, support of a major party, legal theories to legitimize authoritarian acts, and shock troops. The book examines each of these driving forces on the Right and makes clear how they are working in concert to end our democracy as we know it14aTrump, Donald, d1946-20aRepublican Party (U.S. : 1854- )24aPartido Republicano (Estados Unidos: 1854-) 0aElectionszUnited States, 2020. 4aElecciones zEstados Unidosy2020 0aDictatorshipzUnited States. 4aDictadurazEstados Unidos
