The temptation is strong to wait it out in the hope that the 2026 and/or 2028 elections bring changes. It's dangerous, though, because, with or without Trump, too much has been done to go back to some form of normality, which is a myth anyways.

Der #Januarstreik 1918 war einer der größten Massenstreiks in der deutschen Geschichte. Seine Interpretation ist bis heute von Mythen und Fehlurteilen begleitet, wie Benjamin Ziemann in unserem neuen Blogartikel schreibt:

Der Januarstreik 1918. Keine Generalprobe der Novemberrevolution

Not likey. Look at the phrasing -- he was captured. The Trump admin is pitching this as the capture of a criminal and most of the US Congress will buy it.

Nord has an elitist approach to 20th century French political history in that he focuses on elites. It's not wrong but it does make explaining regime change tricky -- hence perhaps the coup d'état argument

Talbot Imlay @talbotimlay.bsky.social · 10d

For Nord, this is pretty far from his argument in 1940 that Vichy was basically a coup d'état in the wake of defeat.
It's good that Trump and the US are prodding some historians to take a new look at the late 3rd Republic as a political regime.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Daniel Hedinger is one of the sharpest scholars of fascism. I don't think his book, Die Achse, has been translated but he has several journal articles in English.
