Stacey Abrams’ On The Ten Steps to Save Democracy

Stacey Abrams’ On The Ten Steps to Save Democracy

On this week’s episode of Assembly Required, Stacey Abrams breaks down the “Ten Steps to Autocracy,” a framework inspired by Princeton Professor Kim Scheppele that outlines the warning signs of a country sliding toward authoritarian rule. We’re watching Trump and the Republicans check off those steps in plain sight: expand and consolidate executive power, break down government institutions, sow distrust in the media, scapegoate vulnerable communities, incentivize violence, and their final goal: undermine free and fair elections in order to cement authoritarian rule. Today, Stacey is joined by Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent at Mother Jones and author of Project 2026: Trump’s Plan to Rig the Next Election, to examine how Trump is poised to use this authoritarian playbook to undermine the 2026 midterms.
