[Q]: (CNN) Sometimes political change happens suddenly. You wake up, and a military junta has taken over your country, or some other kind of revolution has happened. But other times, the climate shifts little by little. A few big gestures of aggression, and then things settle down. Then the cycle repeats, until one day the tipping point is reached and you find your democracy has been transformed into an autocracy. We're at serious risk of this happening in America. Trump's first 100 days have been a lesson for him in what he can and cannot easily do. He's followed the authoritarian playbook in attacking those sectors of society that uphold the value of evidence (the judiciary, the press, researchers). He's purged the bureaucracy; hired family members (who thumb their noses at conflicts of interest); bullied critics on Twitter; and incited a climate of hatred toward targeted groups (Muslims, Latinos, immigrants, and more).Ruth Ben-Ghiat: Authoritarians are often ungenerous people, but they do give us one giftThey tell us what they are going to do before they do it, both as an intimidation and as a challenge, she writes

CNN's 'Unprecedented': Here's Mike? The strange evolution of the relationship of Pence and Trump Trump's choices so far have reflected Pence's politics -- potentially proving helpful on Capitol Hill, where the Indiana governor and former House Republican leader has long been expected to help Trump most. Pence's devotion to conservative principles -- and his relationships with powerful groups, including the Heritage Foundation -- have allowed him to help Trump navigate a Washington terrain that is unfamiliar to the billionaire business mogul who just ran his first campaign for any office.A Mike Pence aide said Tuesday Donald Trump and the incoming VP consult on all Cabinet picksPence took over Trump transition planning from New Jersey Gov.
