#1 Thomas Homer-Dixon

Hyphenated last name - the surest sign of a self-important douchebag.

#2 So? Canada could be under a dictator after the next election.

#3 Remember when someone wrote 'Trump 2016' on a sidewalk in chalk and people had massive trauma over it?
This guy (and most of CNN and MSNBC) never moved on from that.

#4 "... and then there's the downside..."

#5 Could. Yeah, it *could* happen. And monkeys could fly out my butt. Both are equally probable.

It's kinda cute how they scare themselves with these fairy tales. Hey, let's all go out and discretely chalk "Trump 2024" on sidewalks and buildings everywhere. The sound of exploding heads will be glorious.

#6 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.

No need to wait until 2030, it's happening as we speak.

#7 ...possibly including Republican-held state legislatures refusing to accept a Democratic win.

Al Gore, 2000
John Forbes Kerry, 2004
Hillary Clinton, 2016
Stacey Abrams, 2018

Shall I go on about Democrat efforts at projection?

#9 The left is vaguely following a modified nazi playbook of othering non-vaccinated and setting up camps, and yet the right is the danger. Got it, the guy is an idiot.

#10 More fact-free hysteria. As if we don't have enough of that already.

#11 Canada is already under a dictatorship. A comic opera but still just as dangerous

#12 Perhaps a consummation devoutly to be wished...?
The triumvirate of Big Tech Billionaires, Unions and Minority/Gay/Academics, and the MSM has given us a script-reading Presidential façade for a emergent Marxist dictatorship now.
They have overplayed their hand in the rush to loot and finish the Obama 3.0 cultural transformation by using the covid truncheon far too long.
People are awakening to an adversary government in all but name, but the corruption of the electoral system and the massive, deep infestation of the government itself has caused a gigantic dumpster fire across every principal agency. Add to it massive debt, inflation, and the importation of millions more third world indigents whose only wish is a handout and lifetime subsidy, and the toxic sludge is overwhelming.
Some days I actually get worried that the last best hope of mankind, America, will end before I do! Thank God I'm not a pessimist by nature...

#14 The Canadian assumes we have a fair election.

#15 Well....the most compelling argument comes from corporate focus groups filtered by HR sexual deviants.

It makes a person wonder just how far off the mark the movie Don't Look Up really is.
