Critique this discussion. The podcast describes how an autocratic government has been established in the past but appears to be happening now as well. The bulk of the discussion focuses on how Trump was trying to turn the government into an autocracy at the end of his presidential term. I agree he was using the media, speeches and emotional thinking, to gain favor with the masses to look past current checks and balances to further his presidency. I believe that it is both sides of government using these tactics now. Biden is tugging at emotional thinking and financial gifts to draw people to his side while consolidating his own autocratic goals for the government.
