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.”

Who is this? He is so wrong.
Projection. If not for two flaky RAT Senators we’d already be well into a left wing dictatorship. It is terrifying just how close America came to losing it all.
Because there is no such thing as right-wing dictatorship.
There is only right wing, relative to other political positions. Fascism is rightwing to communism, for example.
However, when you run the gamut from communism to libertarianism, authoritarianism is only on the left side.
BS!!! We have a dictator NOW
Hatred doesn’t sell. But who knows how this will all play out. I have never seen the left push it this far before. To be a fly on all of their walls.
He is a left wing green prof. The fact that they post such drivel I think is a sign the Covid mass hypnosis is not working, and new fear porn is needed to stop Trumpism.
Even on MSN the comments (which alawys skew far left) are laughing about this insanity. This crap appeals to the left base but nowhere else.
Hyphenated name for a guy college professor?
By 2030?
Look no further. We are under a left wing tyrannical govt at this moment.
Perhaps President Trump can get a second border wall built between the US and Canada during his second term. Perhaps a divorce between liberals and sane people could put this division to use by relocating all of the idiots to Canada. Never hurts to have dream does it?
That was my thought as well. What would a “right-wing dictatorship” be? You freedom people to death or what? The government minds it’s own business and people eventually die from an unrequited yearning for Jack boots?
Notice how Left wing-ish tards, especially those within academia, etc., always, and I mean always deflect to rightwing BS and blah, blah, blah, when it is they, the Leftists, whether Communists, Socialists, Progressives, etc., are the one’s that are acting like dictator wannabe’s, etc? OMFG, these idiotic morons need to stfu and die already, deflecting and projecting mofos....
Old Nazi tactics- loudly accuse your opponent of what you are already doing.
What he means is that an anti-globalist government in the USA might inspire a similar movement to succeed in Canada and he’ll be out of a job. And all his globalist buddies will be in the same boat.
The “terrible storm” coming from the south would be a good thing from my point of view. But if it comes to partition, keep in mind, there are parts of Canada that would probably prefer to go with the red states than stay in Canada as it is absorbed into the orbit of the blue-state residue.
As I recall history, Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot, Kim IL Sung, .... were not freedom loving conservative leaders..
“US could be under rightwing dictator by 2030, Canadian professor warns”
pendulum swinging from the current leftwing fascist dictator, professor?
Libtards always project their evil intentions on conservatives. By projecting, they can rationalize inflicting evil on others before they are targeted.
Hope! Change! Audit their taxes.
It’s customary among Hispanics for even men to hyphenate their mother’s maiden surname with their father’s. And he’s not Hispanic. Cultural appropriation!
