“Although Trump is in office, the U.S. military might be the last line of defense for protecting our democratic republic, since Congress and the courts have largely capitulated to his autocratic rule. What happens if top military officers and next year’s voters don’t stand up to Trump? We can ask the nearly 6 [n]illion people, more than 70 percent of the world’s population, what their lives are like under authoritarian rule. America is on a slippery slope to join them.” (08/18/25)
