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.

Exactly.
Yes!
Dictatorship- not what the left is doing now.
Oh no, certainly not that.
Dictatorship- the GOP winning an election. Or for that matter, even existing.
I wonder if he predicted our current left wing dictatorship? 🤪
The history of dictatorships are almost exclusively left wing.
There is no such thing as a right wing dictatorship. Dictatorships are by definition far left wing. Thanks for playin though.
The left is not “convinced” of anything, except that they want to tenaciously hold on to power at all costs.
The oxymoron of a “right-wing dictatorship” is merely another of their mendacious talking points.
Who on the left (save useful idiots who don’t know what the left wants) is convinced that the status quo is “unsustainable”? particularly when the issue is always the revolution, no matter how Pyrrhic the victory?
They are exclusively left-wing, when examined even going back through history.
No, the exception is Pinochet, who once stabilized Chile by eliminating the communist, returned all power back to the electorate.
“...even existing....”
THAT is the scary situation we find ourselves in.
One can not buy enough ARs to see it through....
No - the left is forcing everyone to the left and into Marxism as “normal” and shifting the Overton window so that “normal center” is now nazi Germany.
After suffering though which could only be described as a flat out LEFT WING Dictatorship, and he speaks of a dictatorship from the right? Won’t happen. Typical left wing propaganda.
The left does dictatorships. lol
I do not believe that is quite accurate.
The history of totalitarian dictatorships are almost exclusively left wing.
Examples are: Soviet Union, NAZI Germany, Italian Fascists, Chinese Communists, Pol Poi, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea.
Right wing dictatorships tend not to be totalitarian, because they are attempting to conserve culture and way of life. Examples:
Read post 51.
They always accuse you of what they are doing.
What utter complete bs.
If the democrats somehow cant steal 2024 like 2020,
YES THEY EFFING STOLE IT WITH CHINA
whatever republican who wins it, it doesnt matter
It will be called a right-wing dictatorship
IF we were a democracy, I'd be worried.
