You don’t have to just trust media portrayals or ex-advisor testimonies to know how authoritarian Trump is, much of this stuff is publicly available online and you can just look at primary sources. For example, the full Trump call to Georgia Sectary of State is uploaded to Youtube (I linked to the part where he started yelling but honestly the entire call, which you can listen to, is imo pretty damning). Trump afterwards Tweeted
I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia. He was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the “ballots under table” scam, ballot destruction, out of state “voters”, dead voters, and more. He has no clue!
Which is interesting because Raffensperger patiently responded to every allegation over a call lasting a whole hour.
