Building on Linz’s work, we have developed a set of four behavioral warning signs that can help us know an authoritarian when we see one. We should worry when a politician 1) rejects, in words or action, the democratic rules of the game, 2) denies the legitimacy of opponents, 3) tolerates or encourages violence, or 4) indicates a willingness to curtail the civil liberties of opponents, including the media.
So in essence 95% of the GOP. Their acceptance of The Big Lie, that Biden is an illegitimate president and that Trump won the election, their willingness to forget and diminish the significance of Jan 6th, etc.
