Yale history professor Timothy Snyder shared a warning on X (formerly Twitter) about what will happen if presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump wins back the White House in the 2024 election.
“Unless Trump loses, America ends,” he wrote in his first of a five-post thread.

IF Trump WINS, America will END..... it’s DOWNWARD SPIRAL.
What America? The left, which this guy supports, has already practically destroyed it.
Our fascism is good, your freedom is bad.
I looked at his Twitter feed. It is an endless stream of TDS and Ukraine and Biden slobberfest. And this “tyranny expert” has written only ONE article about Hamas and Israel.
Now, personally I think Russia is the Bad Guy and Ukraine was attacked, but I don’t want one dime of taxpayer money going to any foreign nation.
That said, get a load of this one:

Credit where due. Biden warned of the Russian invasion. He reacted wisely and flexibly. And now he has gone to Kyiv to give hope. We haven’t had a statesman like this in a long time.
There’s no such thing as a “tyranny expert”.
That’s the first thing I thought of. I wonder if they’ll dust off and re-use that old anti-Goldwater missile launch ad.
“ZEEPERS”
What????

In response to a Peeper request, I’ll put in my 2 cents. Snyder is great for historical facts. He goes into archives, pulls out numbers, memos, correspondence, et al, in the source languages so his readers don’t have to. But outside his specialty, he’s just not that knowledgeable.
And he’s got his home team biases like many other people do. His home team is the Democrat party, so he’ll say anything necessary to give his team a leg up. You know how some Freepers said Obama would never leave office? Same idea.
That some of these supposed elites are as clued into (i.e. not very) human motivation and the difficulty of mounting an actual coup in the American context as the average Freeper is eye-opening. These academics are supposed to be professionals - this stuff is supposed to be their bread and butter, whereas the average Freeper is just using a keyboard to issue an extended belch.
It did. Trump overthrew the government after all.
Oh wait,...
And, now, we’re closer under Biden to WW III than we ever have been.
They are preparing to walk off cliffs like lemmings aren’t they?
*yawn* and if Reagan wins WW3 will start!
I have heard all this crap all my life.
a friend of mine, a US Marine, had similar take. “I was told if I voted for Goldwater I would be sent to Vietnam. I did and I was.”
by being a Democrat.
Amen. You don't have to be a fan of Zelensky to want to stop Putin's invasion.
(And Biden has been incompetent in his handling of the war.)
