Across the world Autocracy/dictatorships are rising and falling. Unfolding slowly in some places, always been around in others, and quickly sliding towards dictatorship in a few.  Here, I’ve geopolitically mapped out Trump’s swift attempt at dictatorship within the United States and what he has done to the city of Washington, DC in his brief four years of power.  All of the Cabinet positions, which occupy buildings around the White House, have been filled and ransacked by his enablers. And now, in 2021, his supporters have come through to literally wreak havoc on the Capitol. One can't keep up with the rapid pace of democracy's demise in the United States.
