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.

I think Franco fits the bill, but I can’t think of any others than Pinochet and Franco.

Shouldn’t Canada be worrying about herself?

This guy’s job or grift is to predict catastrophe if things don’t go his way. If there is no crisis, he’s out of work.

Someone described this as an attempt to convince the Democrat ideologues that all means to avoid loss of power should be on the table, including election fraud and violence.
The question is this: Are there enough Democrats left with a conscience or a latent love for this country or a lick of common sense to part company with the ideologues and hang them out to dry?

He wouldn’t have kept the copper mines in state hands, if so. Looks like another New Economic Policy move to me.

The Left doesn’t believe that for one minute.
They are doing the Saul Alinsky. Accusing us of doing what they are doing.
That has always worked in the past, but we are on to them now. They are straight up Marxists and they are desperate to convince the people that WE ARE THE ENEMY.
Too late, you Communist Punks, it won’t work this time.

We’re living in a Culturally Marxist, uber-Statist, two-tiered nightmare.
