  1. IM AN AUTHOR ON THE COLLAPSE OF CIVILISATIONS J Stewart is wrong - sorry!!! Dictators don't take over when everything goes badly wrong and there is chaos in the streets. The dictator take over well before that when everyone thinks it will be OK, we will get through this. By the time people worry - its too late. The time for the USA to panic is NOW - if you listen to JS by the time you panic there will be nothing you can do. BTW - I live in Europe - I have no dog in this fight. Just telling you the truth. The 2nd chapter in my new book starts "REALITY LAG People’s admission and acceptance of the reality of any given bad situation is always six months to one year behind reality. This is largely why small businesses go bust, people ignore the red flags for way too long. This is how people end up trapped in an abusive relationship - because they make excuses for the first year and ignore people ignore the red flags. This is how people wind up in a dictatorship, because people ignore the red flags. We are constantly told to ‘be optimistic’. And I am not knocking that. I am not saying we should be pessimistic and negative all the time about everything, but there is increasing recognition of something called ‘Toxic Positivity'..." --- The need to feel "its going to be OK" and the lag that causes is what dictators exploit. Just look at the Trump presidency - it was always 6 degrees worse than you thought it was at any point - if NOT there would be no tell all books...

  4.  @Cure_E_Osity  - No I'm not a real American - I'm a real English person living in Bulgaria. I am an author on psychology mostly, but my next book is called "How To Cope In A Collapsing Society" - its aimed at the UK and the USA, both of which are collapsing, and for which I studied every civilisation collapse since the Bronze Age Collapse. And one of the key mistakes they make is not acting quickly enough. Humans have a natural "its going to be OK" attitude - just look at the pandemic. The RIGHT thing to do was to shut all international travel down IMMEDIATELY then work on a vaccine. Dictators coming to power is exactly the same - the time to act is NOW. What Trump and the GOP are doing NOW is what will ensure they are undefeatable in a year or 3 years time.

  6.  @russellt4474  - There is no irony. In a first past the post democracy you don't get to vote for why you want. You vote for the lesser of two evils. When you are a run of the mill corrupt politician and a raging fascist dictator to choose from - its an easy choice.
