    Dictatorships always end badly. But it can take decades.

    In the case of the US, the closest analog - the Third Reich - lasted 12 years. I’m hoping the American Reich won’t last nearly as long but I’m bracing for about a decade.

      I don’t think that Nazi Germany is a great analogy for the US right now. Honestly there isn’t a very good analogy. The Republicans are using a lot of things from fascist playbooks, but… history doesn’t repeat itself
