Trump is an authoritarian. It's time for everyone to accept that. He hardly denies it himself. He admires & mimics the world's worst despots

However, efforts must also be far more focused. People must engage directly with their and other representatives and staff in Congress.

This is our best hope of checking Trump, though it is not at all surefire. In fact, in the end, it may not be enough.
