Fascism and authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins the show to discuss President Donald Trump’s first few days in office, the classic strongman tactics he’s already using to consolidate power, and what Americans can do to fight back against this authoritarian creep. Daniella and Colin also talk about Trump’s most dangerous executive orders.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
