Stuff takes time. Pick your example—Hungary, Turkey, Russia, wherever—they are all quite distinct and didn’t get that way in a vacuum or overnight. Focus on the next thing rather than the hypothetical drawn from a different context.

It’s demoralizing & demobilizing to speculate about extreme scenarios, even if they are plausible in a long enough timeline. Focus instead on what you can do to prevent them: building coalitions (including with those who you disagree with on other issues) & acting in solidarity

curious if you agree w two distinctions that have already made a huge difference in the first round: the decentralized regime w vetoes all over; highly institutionalized exec branch. my hypos go to prev threats and speculate on how they go further. like troop deploy to protests & DOJ manipulation.
