Ian Bassin: Donald Trump’s Authoritarian Playbook

In this election special Faith Factor season, we will be releasing weekly in-depth exclusive interviews focused on the most consequential Presidential Election of our lifetimes.

Ian Bassin, the co-founder of Protect Democracy,  outlines how Donald Trump and his radical right-wing enablers plan to subvert the democratic institutions of our country in order to amass and maintain power.  

Trump’s well-documented and self-proclaimed policies adhere to what Bassin calls The Authoritarian Playbook, the well-worn tactics executed by the most brutal dictators in world history, including:

• Policize Institutions  
• Spread Disinformation      
• Aggrandize Executive Power      
• Quash Dissent     
• Target Vulnerable Communities       
• Corrupt Elections      
• Incite Violence
