"As the most recent U.S. ambassador to Orban’s Hungary, I’m often asked if the Trump administration’s tactics feel familiar. The short answer is yes. But the more important—and unsettling—question is this: Does the way Americans are responding feel familiar, too?"

This is fascism
Fascism starts with talk, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup. And it takes hold thanks to people who think things won’t move quickly—until they do just that.

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove?
and what constitutes a "shove"?
and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing?
the final Alt-Right Playbook is now live.
it's called The South Bank of the Rubicon.
