The Bulwark Daily · Robert Kagan and Marianne Williamson: Slipping Into Dictatorship · 4 Feb 2026 podcast

Is the Republican Party going to stop them?

The Republican Party is the party of dictatorship today.

I wish people would start talking about that more openly because, you know, they've sort of the Republican congressmen have sort of getting away with, well, that Trump, he's doing stuff.

Sometimes we agree.

Sometimes we don't want to talk about it, blah, blah, blah, blah.

The fact is everybody knows Trump is trying to create a dictatorship and the Republicans are down with it.

The leadership of the party is not going to stop him if it costs them their job.

So they're down with it.

It's the party of dictatorship now.

So who's going to stop these guys?

The Supreme Court?

I would say good luck America.

Yeah.

Just take ice for instance.

Let's say ICE goes into Los Angeles County and three weeks ahead of the election and is just doing in Los Angeles what it has been doing in Minneapolis.

Are people who are non-white going to feel safe going to the polls?

when they know that whether they are citizens or not, they could wind up being sent off to some Texas detention center and then released and told to find their own way back home.

I mean, it's sort of a euphemism to talk about voter suppression.

What they're really talking about is frightening the hell out of everyone who is not a white American from coming to the polls.
