Jason Stanley argues that the fears of sliding into authoritarianism are already too late—the U.S. is under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader. As is often the case, the normalization of authoritarianism in places like universitites is at least as damaging as the fascistic leaders themselves.
Universities *must* work to defend democratic values.

@museumphile a lot of the things that he said here are just not factually true, though.
This is sensationalism, we need to call it out when we see it.
Heck, we have a real problem in the US right now with the public losing faith in experts, and this sort of thing does not help.
