Is Trump Losing? A Debate | The Ezra Klein Show

In a panel discussion, Ezra Klein, Zack Beauchamp, and Andrew Marantz analyze the current political landscape in America, questioning whether the country is experiencing a slide towards authoritarianism. They debate the extent to which the Trump administration's actions reflect a deliberate effort to consolidate power, drawing comparisons to authoritarian regimes in Hungary and other countries. The conversation explores the felt sense of living in a potentially authoritarian environment, the role of opposition forces, the use of antisemitism, and the potential for long-term damage to American institutions. The panelists also discuss the importance of public perception and the need for a strong civil resistance to prevent further erosion of democratic norms.
