Rejection of democratic rules of the game
Denial of the legitimacy of political opponents
Toleration or encouragement of violence
Readiness to curtail civil liberties of political opponents.
The authors, writing in 2018, were able to give examples from
Donald Trump’s behavior in each of these areas. For example, in his 2016 campaign he repeatedly said the vote would be fraudulent. During the campaign he challenged
Hillary Clinton’s legitimacy and said she should be in jail. During his rallies, he encouraged his supporters to beat up protestors. And he threatened the media that had the audacity to criticize him.
Since that book was published, Trump has continued to engage in authoritarian behavior. Most notable were his attempt to become president for life by claiming that the election was full of fraud and his encouragement and continued defense of the January riot aimed at reversing the election.

So much for the four-county curfew. Rioting and looting erupted in the city of Brooklyn Center last night despite the 7 pm stay-at-home order in the Twin Cities, starting with a demonstration at the police department over the police shooting of Daunte Wright. Not even the firing of the city manager earlier over his support of due process for the officer involved kept the crowd from refusing to disperse:
By shortly before 8 p.m. Monday, police began to warn demonstrators, who still numbered in the hundreds, that they were in violation of curfew. Officers began to move toward the fence in formation and issued orders to disperse.
