@timothydsnyder Regarding what Trump and anti-democratic authoritarians plan for 2025, your "Strongman Fantasy" article https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-strongman-fantasy should be widely read as a guide. It shows so clearly what happens historically when voters fall for the false promise of easy solutions. The world could lose the U.S. as a bulwark of democracy. Living in Japan as I do would be just a temporary respite, as paid shills for enemies of the Western-Japan alliance are increasingly propagandizing the public in Japanese through video and other channels seeping into real life. I can detail what they are saying if requested. Keep up the good fight for everyone's freedom!
