alt Hacker NewsWhat do you call it when the authoritarians start, then? Are we not allowed to call it that until we’re not allowed to go to the courts or to speak about what’s happening?

Authoritarianism? Dictatorship? Fascism is a specific form of those that doesn't necessarily map to current forms.

You call it for what it is: an executive with authoritarian tendencies.
Democracy is not an on/off light bulb, it's a material under constant stress that can bend a lot before breaking.
But if you start calling it broken, while it's bending your thesis is easily refutable and you get called out for being a radical whatever.
