Authoritarian systems often begin by contesting reality rather than outright banning elections. They undermine the credibility of electoral processes, as seen in Trump’s tactics against the press and political opponents. The silencing of reporters serves to narrow the discourse, equating scrutiny with opposition and stifling accountability.

However, constrictive power seeks to diminish the public record through intimidation, arrests, and surveillance, ultimately eroding democratic principles.

Donald Trump’s second presidency organizes lies into a governing system impacting elections, race, economy, and foreign policy.
