The Silencing of America: When Institutions Turn Authoritarian
Democracy is fragile. Throughout history, humans have sought safety in authority and centralized power. While media, academics, and political elites warn about right-wing authoritarianism culminating in the January 6th Capitol riot, a more insidious threat has emerged: institutional authoritarianism from the Left. This powerful coalition of journalists, academics, Hollywood executives, tech giants, and corporate leaders increasingly demands ideological conformity while punishing dissent. The system held against right-wing pressure on January 6th-Vice President Pence fulfilled his constitutional duty, Republican senators abandoned electoral challenges, and Republican governors certified their state votes. Yet in the aftermath, America's institutional powers swung decisively toward authoritarian measures. Media outlets advocated deplatforming conservatives, social media companies removed accounts, corporations cut funding to Republicans who challenged electoral votes, and tech companies collaborated to take alternative platforms offline. The consequences are tangible-more than 60% of Americans now fear expressing their true thoughts, including most liberals, moderates, and a staggering 77% of conservatives. Only "strong liberals" feel confident speaking freely. For non-leftists, institutional hatred is palpable across academia, media, sports, entertainment, social media, and workplaces.
