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.

Around the summer of 2018 or so I was enjoying a nice lunch alone in a Canadian spa (after having a nice massage, facial, etc). I overheard two worried Canadians at another table FRETTING about Trump and going on and on about his trade deals and tariffs with Canada, how he wasn’t a reliable trade partner and on and on. It was the funniest thing. Trump REALLY got into the Canadian’s heads; they obsessed about him.
And here I was the actual Trump voter, enjoying Canada, relaxing, not worried about a thing, and comfortable knowing Trump respected Canada but was putting my interests first as a US Citizen. Imagine that.
Viva Pinochet!! Rev up the choppers.
Right wing is anything the Left disagrees with.
Little more than applying Godwin's Law to an unnamed future conservative who believes in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Why wait until 2024?
TDS on Full Display by a Rabid Leftist Lunatic that fears Conservatives and President Trump will regain control of the USA and perhaps return this country to true Constitutional gov’t and diminish liberalism to the point of irrelevancy.
Will this actually happen? Unknown. But, Leftists are very fearful this may transpire.
To characterize dictatorships you have generally military, socialist/Communist, and royal. There is not really a “right wing dictatorship.” Putin has a veneer of being a right wing dictator but his KGB background fuzzes that. Pinochet has been the only conservative (as we define conservative here) dictator I can think of and he stepped down when the Pope told him it was time to go He left an economy and freedoms that later socialist rulers have not been able to efface, at least not yet.
Canadian political scientist ...
... is a moron.
Now more than ever
Thomas Homer-Dixon, an executive director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in British Columbia...
Dollars to donuts this guy is somehow on the CIA payroll.
Just like the recent whining by retired US generals, this is all about the left wing projecting its dictatorial ambitions onto its opponents, to shape the future political battlefield. They have no intention of allowing a non-swamp Republican to take office, no matter how the votes total in 2024.
Climate Change Death in 6 years or a Right Wing Dictatorship by 2030... 🤓
Yawn.....
It will be called a right-wing dictatorship
If a Democrat wins it'll be blamed on vote fraud. If a Republican wins it will be blamed on voter suppression. Either way we'll never have another election that half the population won't think was rigged.
Professors want a raise. Pay them with Confederate money.
>>I’d donate good $ to get an ‘edit’ and ‘like’ button for posts.<<
I 2nd that.
Franco, Pinochet, Stroessner in Paraguay, Somoza in Nicaragua, Batista in Cuba, the military junta in Argentina and Bolivia and Honduras and El Salvador and just about every other Central and South American country.
Totalitarianism is not just a leftist solution. Right wingers have resorted to it many times as well.
“Right wing dictatorship” We can only hope.
My thoughts exactly
the right is a dictatorship the left coup is not
