As far as I know, we are still not quite in an Authoritarian state here in the US.

Just wanna drill into this; the United States has been an authoritarian state for as long as I've been alive. Deporting people without due process is not new. Supporting genocides is not new. The police state we live in is not new. The rule of law has been a joke for so long zoomers have internalized it. There is a reason why most of the governments we have overthrown have been democracies, and there is a reason the US has mostly replaced those democracies with dictatorships. We are the evil empire, and we have been for decades at this point.
