Canadian here, not American. An Authoritarian State is one where the state is fully subservient to a single person or party. Does not fit that description yet. There are branches of government that are trying to hold the Tangerine Tyrant to account and the only reason that he is getting away with it is the money in politics is keeping his opponents from being held to full account.

And if you are Australian you are in a glass house throwing rocks assuming my politics.
