'extraterritoriality' - the projection of national legal sovereign power into other jurisdictions.
The US has always used forms of extraterritoriality, but Trump may be about to make this a much more contentious issue as he tries to reach deep into other domestic jurisdictions.

And, trust me, it's a tough question. Can't share my dozens of links here but I found one (from Canada) who gives outsiders a pretty good oversight.
What speaks for the fascist path is the deep contempt of the CDU/ CSU for the #RuleOfLaw.
On the other hand, they respect parliamentary tradition.

Weidel and the White House won the federal elections in Germany
The real winners of the German election are the hard-right leader Alice Weidel and her White House friends, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance and Donald Trump.canadiandimension.com
The purpose of due process is to make sure the government doesn’t punish innocent people. The way it works is that when the government makes an accusation against someone, that person is then allowed a court process where they can defend themselves. The purpose of this process is to make sure that the government can prove its case against someone before punishing them.
(...)
Of course, there are costs associated with court processes. Former President George W. Bush once acknowledged how liberal democracy can be inefficient: “If this were a dictatorship, this would be a heck of a lot easier. Just so long as I’m the dictator!”
But the cost of the government not being forced to prove its case before punishing people is that you end up punishing innocent people. There’s reporting out there that suggests the administration may be deporting people on the basis that they have football tattoos; the tattoos are alleged to be tied to the Venezuelan gang mentioned above.
Almost all Americans would say we don’t want violent criminals entering and residing in our country illegally. But did people really vote for Trump so that he would deport people based on mere suspicion without having to prove that the people being deported actually are violent criminals?"

So Trump seeks to drive the Palestinian population out of the Gaza strip, into Jordan & Egypt (the governments of which will understandably say "No!"), because everything's been destroyed there anyway.
He wants the Palestinian population to move out of the bombed way, so he & his gang can set up luxury estates for the freaking rich.
It seems the Trump-Kushner gang had quite a lot of time to hatch this mob plot out.

Well in the new year we will find out as the political transparency project is rolled out across the entire Family Court system.... in the next year(s) we will find out if, as some suspect, judgements will be 'better' if Judges know scrutiny is more public than before...

The Confederacy was composed of eleven U.S. states that declared secession: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
Now tell me, which of these states didn't enact an insane abortion ban.

Idiotic fanaticism is an extremist/terrorist national security threat.
"Pro-lifers" want the lives of mothers, who had an abortion, to be taken.
No pro-choicers were ever heard calling for the death of pro-lifers, who shamefully demand the killing of aborting girls, women & mothers.

'The sole cause of the present mess [in the justice system] is the refusal by successive governments, from New Labour through the coalition to the Tories, to fund the system properly. In particular, the repeated cuts to public funding of barristers & solicitors have led to an exodus from the criminal courts'!
Juryless trials & summary judgments are not the answer; proper funding is needed; justice isn't/cannot be cheap

"...
Less than two weeks after being pardoned [by Donald Trump], retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn took to the airwaves to suggest President Trump could impose martial law and deploy the military to re-run the election. Apparently, this proposal intrigued President Trump, who invited Flynn to the White House to hear more.

We could have learned from "healing" hopes & dreams of the Reconstruction era - while we didn't find our ways to effectively fight & remove the ethical, antihuman flaws accompanying the evolution of exclusive American democracy, the disgraceful heritage of slavery & the equally degrading denial of its existence.
Now we'll be going to see the unsolicited results of neglected accountability & take it for granted, it won't be fun days.

Something to witness: how "the safety of Israel" is the weapon Western democracies use to dismantle civil rights and turn their own countries into more open authoritarian police and surveillance states. IMO, they really got bold after they managed to "dissappear" the still ongoing pandemic.
