It's odd the way these articles talk about dictatorship taking hold in the US
It's as if there is a subtle undercurrent of wanting it to actually happen while simultaneously being outwardly opposed to it.

Yeah, there are a lot of valuable lessons to be learned by studying the Roman Republic and Empire. This article does none of that, it just lists a bunch of parallels. It's in the same genre as "12 reasons why Joe Biden was the antichrist!"
I'm continually disappointed in The Atlantic. At one time it would have published a thoughtful essay on the topic. Instead this article just normalizes the idea that democracy in the US is doomed to fall.
