No, the US is not becoming autocratic. The media coverage is different because they are anti-Trump, but every administration has done "autocratic" things. Trump isn't unique, merely more bombastic and open about them. Obama, Biden, Clinton, both Bushs, etc. have all done things that we'd view as autocratic if we had been aware of them at the time. Quit worrying and enjoy life. The AI bubble should concern you more than Trump.

There aren't many "snowflakes" around here, as far as I can tell, but just in case you're looking for one, those are some helpful tips for your search.
