Historically, the rise of authoritarianism has often been precipitated by periods of social unrest, economic instability, and political turmoil. Such environments create a fertile ground for leaders who promise stability and order. These leaders often employ strategies such as populism, nationalism, and scapegoating to consolidate their power, fostering an “us versus them” mentality that undermines democratic discourse. Furthermore, authoritarian regimes frequently resort to censorship and propaganda to maintain control over public opinion, suppress dissent, and restrict freedom of the press. This tactics serve to create a narrative that legitimizes their rule while delegitimizing their critics.

Since taking office in January 2025, the Trump administration has embarked on a series of policies and actions that have sparked considerable debate regarding their implications for democracy. Central to these discussions are decisions perceived to undermine constitutional principles, suggesting a shift toward authoritarian governance. A significant issue has been the administration’s approach to immigration. Policies such as the reinstatement of family separation at the border and aggressive deportation measures have raised concerns regarding human rights and the rule of law. Critics argue that these initiatives not only contravene established norms but also dehumanize individuals seeking asylum and safety.
