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.”

What the learned professor is actually saying is that Trump will regain his rightful place as president before 2030. Hopefully, that will happen much sooner than that.
The best news I’ve read in 13 months!
Yeah, Right Wing Dictators...DICTATING FREEDOM!!!!
And prosperity, and civility, and contentment.
THAT is something to be “under.”
Folks, if we get the republic back, we’re gonna need a northern border wall, too...
We’re living under a left-wing dictatorship right now.
Monkeys could fly out of my butt.
They will justify their Left-Wing Dictatorship by saying that it’s the only way to stop a Right-Wing Dictatorship.
Propaganda
A left wing hoser, Canuck “perfeser”, ey?
So what does this Canadian clown have to say about the current Dementia Joe far left dictatorship?
Isn’t it interesting that the more power the left acquires the more they complain about the power of their opponents? When we’re under the heel of the totalitarian left, they’ll still be whining about the right. Like 1984’s Emmanuel.
The rise of the "Constitutional Republic.!" I can hardly wait... :)
Okay, I’ll do a little wordplay...
Canada could be under a leftwing dictatorship by 2030, a common-sense US citizen has warned, urging his country to protect itself against the “collapse of Canadian Aristocracy.”
Professor’s teachers of Marxism it’s why so many students are a basket case.

Projection: In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing untold interpersonal damage.

Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias whereby people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability.

A deadly combination.
Maybe sooner.
Liberal democracy has never once suppressed a communist revolution that’s gone this far.
There may be only two sides. Choose wisely.
Nice explanation of what right wing is
Or Argentina’s Peron model.
A right-wing dictator by 2030???
That’s too long to wait...hopefully, a lot sooner!!!
As opposed to be living under a left wing dictatorship.
