We're definitely in an autocracy now. One person has the say not only over the country, but parts of the world. There is no concern for process or rules. He's just running with it, he's making the rules, and his power is growing. Much to the delight of those who adore him.
Hey, maybe it will work out. Who knows. I don't have a crystal ball. I do know that it sure as hell doesn't have a great historical record.
But that's where we are now, and anyone who denies it is either lying or ignorant. Or both.
