No, the US is not becoming autocratic. The media coverage is different because they are anti-Trump, but every administration has done "autocratic" things. Trump isn't unique, merely more bombastic and open about them. Obama, Biden, Clinton, both Bushs, etc. have all done things that we'd view as autocratic if we had been aware of them at the time. Quit worrying and enjoy life. The AI bubble should concern you more than Trump.

When did tech become dominated by snowflakes? Any comments that aren’t blatantly critical of Trump are downvoted. Laughable, but sad. My generation was far more inclusive and tolerant than what I see here or in the media.

  A "snowflake" would do things like weaponize the DoJ against his perceived personal enemies (https://bsky.app/profile/mmasnick.bsky.social/post/3lzcin3tyz22e https://bsky.app/profile/mmasnick.bsky.social/post/3lzcin3ty...) and call for journalists to be fired or worse for offending his delicate sensibilities. There aren't many "snowflakes" around here, as far as I can tell, but just in case you're looking for one, those are some helpful tips for your search.

      Here's your own homework lesson: the Bluesky link is necessary because Trump deleted the tweet as soon as he realized he had posted something unethical that he'd meant to DM to the Attorney General. We are saddled with Cheeto Benito precisely because Obama and Biden failed to use the DoJ to take him down. They insisted on playing 3D chess while Trump played 5D Calvinball. Can you imagine one of them sending a message like this one to Merrick Garland?
