Historian says Trump win brings ‘authoritarianism and dictatorship’ to US, says Trump could ban historians

In the future, historians are going to look back on this day and say, this is the day that America made a choice between freedom and democracy on one side and authoritarianism and dictatorship on the other,

Beschloss said

This does feel in many ways like a hinge day, which is to say we’re going down one of very two different paths by perhaps tomorrow morning,

Geist declared, inviting the commentator to weigh in

We have seen that with the L.A. Times, we have seen that with The Washington Post."

Scarborough continued

And this is what happens when America begins to go toward dictatorship,

Beschloss added

It’s not that historians won’t be able to write those books, it may be that the billionaires and the corporations that own the publishing houses will refuse to print those books,

he said

So we've been preparing for a year now, very methodically. We didn't put the cart before the horse, but we anticipated that we might well have a win, the trifecta tonight, the White House, the Senate, and the House,
