Great read as always. I think the politicians who rise to the highest levels are the most power hungry of all. So, essentially, most politicians are authoritarians given a chance. And it's hard to ascertain if one is AU. I think, USA's decision to limit the number of terms to 2 is the most practical and only solution to fight AU. We can't stop them from rising to power but can stop them from extending it forever.
I wonder why Bush didn't use the crisis to extend his power beyond the 2 terms.
Also, most Americans were immigrants decades ago, a point against Trump.

Why is this published in 2024 when our elections are nearby? 🌚🌚
Great read, by the way
Thanks! It got published now because I read the book in December and wrote this piece in January I guess
great read as always, but kind of left me at a hanging point - wonder if you might consider doing a follow up to this?
What do you think is missing?
don't know. closure I guess :P perhaps more content on whatever you already wrote about.
