We're in really different places here and internationally because some of us believe that the US has been authoritarian in various iterations over the years especially at the state level and others do not.

The speed by which America collapsed into authoritarian rule is the most shocking thing. Faster than other contemporary cases. Faster than the alleged “dictator’s playbook” suggests. So fast we *shouldn’t* call it “competitive authoritarianism.” It may be worse than that.
