In this thought-provoking informational piece, we explore the question: Does authoritarianism exist in the United States?

Beginning with a clear definition of authoritarianism—governance marked by centralized power and limited individual freedoms—the discussion examines how authoritarian tendencies have surfaced in recent U.S. politics. From the rise of populist leaders to the erosion of democratic norms, we explore how figures like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and others have embodied or supported authoritarian rhetoric.

We also ask and explore a challenging question: Would Jesus approve of these authoritarian trends? Drawing on biblical teachings about power, justice, and compassion, we reflect on how Christian values might call us to respond to political movements that prioritize control over the common good.

A deep dive into the intersection of faith, politics, and morality, the information within challenges listeners to consider how they can uphold democratic principles in the face of growing authoritarian influence- and as Christians what would Jesus expect of us.
