I am not finding a "gift article" link to the article I'm going to share to here - it is from the May issue so they may not be ready for it to be widely shared by subscribers.

In The Atlantic is the piece "America is Watching the Rise of a Dual State" by Aziz Huq.

Mr. Huq was interviewed today on a North Texas National Public Radio station (one that Trump is wanting to defund) noon interview program called Think; today's subject is Dictators sometimes take power quietly. Krys Boyd spent an hour talking to Huq about the article he wrote, and about the Fraenkel book he describes. You get a lot more information about the situation in the hour interview than you might get in the article. From Think:

Authoritarian regimes sometimes take power all at once – but other times they chip away at societal norms bit by bit. Aziz Huq teaches law at the University of Chicago, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss specifically how the Nazis rose to power and began to persecute Jews in part because the rest of German society just went about its business without objection. His article published in The Atlantic is “America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State.”

There is a link at the top of that page to listen to the interview.
