Obama: U.S. ‘Dangerously Close’ To Autocracy

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “Democracy’s not self-executing. It requires people, judges, and, you know, people in the Justice Department and, you know, people throughout the government who take an oath to uphold the Constitution. (...) When that isn’t happening, we start drifting into something that is not consistent with American democracy. It is consistent with autocracies. (...) We’re not there yet, completely, but — but I think that we are — we are dangerously close to normalizing behavior like that.”
