Rob Reiner, the film director and political activist, in a Sunday appearance on MSNBC warned the nation is sliding into autocracy under President Trump.

“We have a year before this country becomes a full-on autocracy completely and democracy completely leaves us,” Reiner said. “We have to make the public absolutely aware that their democracy is being taken from them, and we have to do everything we can to make people understand that … if they lose that democracy, all of these [First Amendment rights] will be taken away from them.”

Reiner is among a growing number of Hollywood directors criticizing Trump’s performance as president during his second term.

Bruce Beresford, an Australian film director who’s known for directing “Driving Miss Daisy,” slammed Trump on Tuesday for threatening to put a 100 percent tariff on movies made outside of the United States. Fellow directors Spike Lee, Pedro Almodóvar and Adam McKay have all been outspoken critics of Trump on issues from free speech to immigration.

“The Hollywood community is very much aware of their First Amendment rights being impinged. We saw what was happening to Jimmy Kimmel,” Reiner said Sunday. “Our job now as communicators is to start communicating to the rest of the country to let them know what is going to happen to them. The two big things that an autocrat needs is control of the media and military control of the streets.”

In September, late night host Jimmy Kimmel was temporarily taken off the air by ABC over remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. After a broad backlash that included criticism from some Republicans, parent company Disney reversed its decision and reinstated the longtime host.

Kimmel railed against what he called attacks on free speech during his return to the air last month.

“This show is not important,” Kimmel said in his opening monologue. “What’s important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this.”

“The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke,” he added.

Trump has long railed against the liberal slant of many in the entertainment industry. In January, he named Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as “special ambassadors” to Hollywood, which he called a “very troubled place.”

“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” he wrote at the time.
