Young Voter Asks Bernie Sanders: How Do We Stop Trump's Authoritarian Agenda? - Liberal Lens



A young voter in Texas courageously asked Senator Bernie Sanders a critical question:
“How do we stop Donald Trump from turning America into an autocracy?”

This isn’t political theater—it’s a real fear shared by millions of Americans. With rising attacks on the rule of law, threats to the separation of powers, and elected officials too afraid to speak out, democracy itself is on the line.

In this powerful town hall moment, Bernie Sanders outlines the real threat of authoritarianism under Trump and what everyday people can do to fight back. From political pressure and grassroots organizing to rejecting billionaire influence in elections—Sanders calls for nationwide mobilization to protect democratic values before it's too late. - 07/11/2025.

Trump’s rising authoritarian influence

How fear is silencing elected officials

Political intimidation within the GOP

Grassroots power vs. billionaire control

Bernie Sanders' grassroots strategy in red states
