These are the five phases of the dictator’s dilemma. It’s really worth understanding this dynamic because it is an inescapable trap. Historically, for people like Trump, it is inevitable. While it’s impossible to know what will happen at Phase 5, we can predict & prepare for it.
One Day, we Will see a rebellion peaceful & sometime not, America was broken & rotten from inside and Trump is accelerating with chaos the collapse. If people and collectivities unite and create a new order, we could see hope on the horizon. One way or another, it Will be hurtful for many people.
I feel like we are in phase 3, nearing phase 4, but you never know with this guy.
Given that Trump is also at stage four of a narcissist facing his own imminent demise, we are in for a rough few months unless his own admin removes him.
Thanks for sharing. The article included the video of Trump's recent cabinet meeting, where Trump and RFK talking about wind farms killing whales. It didn't take long to find this is just another Trump lie, one propagated by the oil and gas industry. Here's a useful video explainer.
I know how dictators are usually stopped!
We all rise up with arms and do a citizens arrest
self-censoring was never my thing
Precisely why they had Putin train them. Trump is the Putin model not the Hitler model
Trump is speed running thru all of these. Like he’s running out of time?
Is this your theory or a compilation or others? I’m a political scientist trying to cite appropriately, thanks!
