Wow. A group of top scholars at Harvard just sent a letter to its president, Alan Garber, warning against surrendering to Trump.

Signatories include Steven Levitsky, Dani Rodrik, Ryan Enos, Theda Skocpol, and Steven Walt.

Someone forwarded it to me. Read it here:

there is something quite close to unanimity among serious scholars on this point, but the Washington Post omits that in favor of highlighting one such scholar's donations to Democratic candidates

Steve Levitsky, who wrote "How Democracies Die" (which I'm reading now) says this is worse than he expected, and the wildcard factor is... Elon Musk.

Steven Levitsky is a political scientist who explained “competitive authoritarianism”
With Trump declaring himself above the law and Musk calling for jailing journos, there's a big risk voters get acclimated to this kind of authoritarian talk and come to see it as normal. Another reason Dems must step up now.

My exchange w/Steve Levitsky on this:

"I cannot think of a democratic country with a reliable rule of law where security forces mask themselves. It just doesn't happen."
- Prof. Steven Levitsky, Harvard political scientist

This, by Levitsky and @dziblatt.bsky.social, is absolutely on the money. I really struggle to see what prevents this from happening, other than basically luck.
December 26, 2024 at 7:51 PM
Look, you don’t have to believe me. But when <Steve Levitsky> tells you it’s competitive authoritarianism, you really should believe him.
