It’s Time to Prepare for the Fall of American Democracy

Feb 7, 2025 | We’re in the middle of an ongoing constitutional crisis at the moment and may soon find out if The Constitution will remain “in effect” altogether, as Jamelle Bouie put it in an op-ed for The New York Times. At the current pace, Trump could radically transform our entire form of governance in a short period of time. Historian Timothy Ryback explains in a piece for The Atlantic how H*tler was able to dismantle democracy in just 53 days by centering governance around the executive (i.e. rule by decree), purging the government of loyalists, and shutting down public unrest with the military. The similarities between then and now are utterly chilling. In this video we’ll look at all of the warning signs that Trump is becoming a full-blown fascist dictator, and explain what Democrats should do to prepare before it’s too late.
