Actually, it's a real question I have. We talk about Russia, Turkey and Hungary, and how people there can never overthrow Putin, Erdogan and Orban. But so far we (the media mostly, but even politicians) have done a very poor job in illuminating how authoritarian leadership impacts people living under it negatively. Can't speak out against the regime? MAGAts don't speak out about their leaders. Freedom of the press gone? Faux News, et al, would qualify for state-run media outlets - they won't be attacked by the regime. Immigration only from "white" nations? MAGAts support that too.

So seriously, someone tell me how day-to-day life will be impacted for most Americans under an authoritarian regime?
