We need to do more than label things. We need to explain clearly why things like "authoritarian," "oligarchy," and "corruption" are bad and hurt all of us in our everyday lives. The average person doesn't really get how losing our democracy will destroy everything they value about this country.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.
