We in Europe saw this happen in the 1920s and 1930s.
Time, after time, after time, as one nation after another voluntarily fell to national socialism, enough so that we in the UK saw it coming to us and abandoned reason. In our only option for the survival of our democracy, we outright banned fascism, deported their leader Moseley and forced the fascist traitor king and his Hitler loving concubine out of the country too. That way we stopped Briton from sliding into becoming a Nazi oblast. Achieving this by preventing the election of antidemocratic elitists and twisted aristocrats in to government. Foiling Hitler and Edward the VIII's plan of a propaganda and false information deluge and the promise of a return to the false myth of Victorian rule “by our betters.”
If you do not do this in the USA, clean house, arrest the traitors and let the truth flow. Then they, the traitors will do it to you. Redefining lies as truth, authoritarianism as democracy, theocracy as religious freedom and horror as utopia.

Whether his predictions come true or not, the fact that he has good reason to predict those things is a sad state of affairs.

No sympathy as people like him have allowed Julian Assange to rot. Do you think the example of Assange eg report on anything that discredits the state and the state will destroy you, has strengthened Mahr's beloved democracy? Wikileaks was a bigger threat than any other to state power, exposing their dirty secrets by producing damning evidence provided by whistleblowers. These cry baby's did nothing to defend their peer but cry their democracy is now in jeopardy. Not too late to save Assange, but I still can't hear them defending journalistic values by attacking Julian's treatment.
I seem to recall saying here the other day if democracy was in such peril for democrats, why wasn't a priority of a Biden presidency to sort out voting machines and streamline voting protocols?
In 2024, the choice may well be between two POTUS's who have both been indicted. Reject them both and elect whoever vows to tear up the Patriot Act.
From an outsider's point of view, will the world now be a more dangerous place without America being a democracy? Will there be more undemocratic war's than democratic ones?

@Lorajay He comments on current affairs, I mean, look at this video. He has influence as do all the others who have happily gone along with Assange's case, agreeing when dissent is cancelled. Compliance makes you complicit and people like him who cry now could have done much more. And now we are here.
The "authoritarian left" I heard the other day, a phrase I liked.
"You will tolerate me and my ideals or you will be cancelled".
"You will vote for the one and only true party, or else you do not believe in democracy, wanting to destroy it".
Sure sounds authoritarian to me. Republicans sound mild compared to that.
