If you really want to know what it's like living under an authoritarian government, then you should listen to someone who has done that. Garry Kasparov, the former World Chess Champion, lived in Russia -- and he saw that country move from a communist state to a brief democracy, and then morph into another authoritarian government (under Putin).
Kasparov has a warning for citizens of the United States. He sees the U.S. trodding the path toward an authoritarian government -- much like Russia moved from it's fragile democracy to a Putin dictatorship.
Kasparov sent the following 8 tweets back in December, but they are even more relevant today, as Trump continues to attack the government agencies of this country.
