In this episode, we discuss how authoritarianism often takes root not through overt violence, but by manipulating laws and legal processes, creating a "veneer of legitimacy" for illiberal ends. This "erosion by a thousand cuts" involves concepts like executive aggrandizement, where leaders incrementally weaken checks and balances, and autocratic legalism, using constitutional and legal methods with electoral backing to consolidate power.
