Prepare for Right-Wing U.S. Dictatorship Before 2030, Scholar Urges Canada
Newseek ^ | 1/1/21 | DARRAGH ROCHE

ACanadian political scientist has urged his country's government to prepare for the possibility of the United States becoming a right-wing dictatorship before 2030.

In an op-ed published in The Globe and Mail on Friday, Thomas Homer-Dixon, an executive director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in British Columbia, warned his country had to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

"By 2025, American democracy could collapse, causing extreme domestic political instability, including widespread civil violence," Homer-Dixon wrote.

"By 2030, if not sooner, the country could be governed by a right-wing dictatorship. We mustn't dismiss these possibilities just because they seem ludicrous or too horrible to imagine.

Such an extreme polarization dynamic at play here... we are all quite convinced we are experiencing a long-running globalist/marxists takeover and the left is convinced we're on the precipice of a rightwing dictatorship. The two sides live in totally different realities.

One thing we ALL (left, right) agree on; none of this is sustainable.

Beware of all that freedom. It is dangerous to communism!

The existential threat to North America is Marxist regimes governing primarily as fascists. Not sure about Mexico, but Canaduh and the US are already there.

The Left always accuses other of doing what they list to achieve.

What I mean is; we cannot co-exist together... if the left gets much more power, they’ll start digging the mass graves, as the authoritarian left has always done when they get absolute power. Net net is, we can’t coexist with communists.

One question:

Which party is closing down businesses, demanding lockdowns, demanding masks, demanding clot shots, boosters....etc?

"By 2030, if not sooner, the country could be governed by a right-wing dictatorship. We mustn't dismiss these possibilities just because they seem ludicrous or too horrible to imagine.

To the Left, a Constitutional Republic, with the entire Bill of Rights enforced, is an unthinkable outcome, to be avoided at all costs.

“the country could be governed by a right-wing dictatorship”

Or we could be hit by a life-ending meteorite, or we could descend into a Mad Max style of existence, or we could be invaded by space aliens. Yes all sorts of could be’s that we must be afraid of.

Canada is now, totally into Dystopian Madness re Covid.

Dystopian Scenes in Montreal, Quebec as 10pm COVID Curfew Is Reinstituted

Last Refuge ^ | January 1, 2022 | Sundance
Posted on 1/2/2022, 2:50:18 PM by Candor7

Madness, just madness. Montreal, Quebec has reinstituted a COVID curfew as the Canadian government promotes the fear of Omicron. [Prior Media Report Here] The concept of a curfew is not only arbitrary, but also abject nonsense. Somehow the Rona is going to be worse at 10:15pm than it was at 9:55pm?

The scenes from the police patrolling the street, and instructing people over loudspeakers to go home, are dystopian and something you might see or hear in some fictional movie. The commonsense of government is gone completely. What did all of those people get double vaccinated and boosted for?

MONTREAL – […] ” “I know we’re all tired, but it’s my responsibility to protect (Quebecers),” said Legault. “(Experts) agree that, in the coming weeks, there is a risk that the number of hospitalizations will exceed our capacity, which would eventually lead us to no longer being able to treat everyone,” said Premier Francois Legault.

He made the announcement at a Thursday evening press conference, where he was joined by Health Minister Christian Dube and Public Health Director Dr. Horacio Arruda. People who violate the curfew are subject to fines ranging from $1,000 to $6,000.

I'd like to get a "Delete" key that deletes the subject.

And an Industrial Strength keyboard.

I wonder if they would care to define "right-wing" for me.

Because I have found that what they call "right-wing" is just still more left-wing fascism.

One side is lying far, far more than the other side.

One side is far, far closer to understanding reality than the other.

If you work a little bit, it is not hard to figure out which side is lying the most.

Hint: It isn't Conservatives and Christians, who believe lying is evil and wrong.
