Pritzer brilliantly defines the threat of authoritarianism.

In his State of the State address, Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., warned against authoritarianism, saying "it took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic" and asked Illinoisans to "gather your justice and your humanity."

Pritzer gives a brilliant, accurate, and relevant speech on the threat of authoritarianism and fascism in his State of the State address to the assembly and people of Illinois. His history and experience made this riveting for me. He was right on point.
