The US could be under a rightwing dictatorship by 2030, a Canadian political science professor has warned, urging his country to protect itself against the “collapse of American democracy”.
“We mustn’t dismiss these possibilities just because they seem ludicrous or too horrible to imagine,” Thomas Homer-Dixon, founding director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University in British Columbia, wrote in the Globe and Mail.
“In 2014, the suggestion that Donald Trump would become president would also have struck nearly everyone as absurd. But today we live in a world where the absurd regularly becomes real and the horrible commonplace.”
Homer-Dixon’s message was blunt: “By 2025, American democracy could collapse, causing extreme domestic political instability, including widespread civil violence. By 2030, if not sooner, the country could be governed by a rightwing dictatorship.”
The author cited eventualities centered on a Trump return to the White House in 2024, possibly including Republican-held state legislatures refusing to accept a Democratic win.
Trump, he warned, “will have only two objectives, vindication and vengeance” of the lie that his 2020 defeat by Joe Biden was the result of electoral fraud.
A “scholar of violent conflict” for more than four decades, Homer-Dixon said Canada must take heed of the “unfolding crisis”.
“A terrible storm is coming from the south, and Canada is woefully unprepared. Over the past year we’ve turned our attention inward, distracted by the challenges of Covid-19, reconciliation and the accelerating effects of climate change.
“But now we must focus on the urgent problem of what to do about the likely unraveling of democracy in the United States. We need to start by fully recognizing the magnitude of the danger. If Mr. Trump is re-elected, even under the more optimistic scenarios the economic and political risks to our country will be innumerable.”

Leftist Canadians regarded Trump to be an extreme right wing dictator, so by their standards they are probably right.
A hyphen in the last name usually means .. born a bastard! Obviously that is true here.
Canada and Australia are now lost causes.
This is dangerous! People might choke on the sweet air of Freedom.
Perfect rhetoric coming from the Castro-controlled, communist satrapy of the British Empire.
LOL! Love that graphic.
It would be better than the leftist, democrat taliban party oligarchy we are currently living with.
He’s obviously seeing the coming and current tyranny, but he can’t see the cause. Maybe moron, or too woke to perceive the truth.
Let it be so before 2030.
First wipe out all the cockroaches in the USA and then afterwards exterminate the cockroaches in Canada.
Heh, heh, heh!
If anything it will be from the left. It’s already started.
Just another no name professor looking for his 5 minutes of notoriety and an invite to appear on MSNBC. The world will soon forget him and he will return to his mediocre, meaningless existence.
He was off by 10 years....Biden beat him to it!
Right wing dictatorship to the left means a freedom loving republic to true Americans.
The left wouldn’t know what to do with a government that doesn’t tell them what to do.
We’re already under left wing dictatorship.
How about you mind your own business and just be glad we're around to keep you safe from the world.
Maybe the canucks should concern themselves about their own affairs.
As opposed to the leftist dictator we have today?
Canada is actually worse than Mexico. Canada condones and perhaps condones the migrant flow from Asia (India and Pakistan)
Within this year, there is going to be a very heavy migration out of China and Xi imposes total China Socialism while destroying anything that smacks of Capitalism. Many will come to Canada
The article is full of hypnotic propaganda. It dares to gave only one concrete example:
“What happens, for instance, if high-profile political refugees fleeing persecution arrive in our country and the US regime demands them back?”
The language is being changed before our eyes. They would define “persecution” as jail time for Antifa rioters, or for imprisoned guards who kept J6 “insurrectionists” without trial, or for de-licensed and fined builders of covid anti-vaxxed camps, or for any covidian doctors sentenced as a result of Nuremberg II.
A negotiated county-by-county breakup will be painful, but is the only way to save our descendants from an inevitable violent war.
