May 6, 2025 #HumanistReport #Trump
Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a professor of history at New York State University, warned that Trump is moving us towards a dictatorship faster than other democratically elected dictators in Russia, Turkey, and Hungary. She explains that the rapid change Trump is implementing more closely resembles “after there’s been a coup.” In this video we’ll discuss her comments and talk about how Putin, Erdoğan and Orban each incrementally consolidated power over the course of more than a decade. We’ll also talk about the importance of legitimacy, and why Trump may be undermining his own dictatorial ambitions by moving too fast.
