#HeatherCoxRichardson is particularly good today, arguing that the rise of #Trump is representative of a recurring process of #right-wing reaction in the #US and exploring the role of the recently ousted Viktor #Orbán in the #Trumpist iteration of that process. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Text reads: “Today, Heather explains that one year after Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement — promised as a path to lower prices — Americans are instead facing inflation at 3.3%, unconstitutional tariffs, $175 billion in refunds yet to be returned, and an international economic order that took decades to build now in ruins.”

Excellent point about the two-edged sword of technology: So much data tracking our location and activities, keeping us under surveillance. BUT, it can help us hold those in authority to account. About 20 min in:

Appointing unqualified figures is a key tactic of authoritarians, who turn to staffers who are fiercely loyal because they are not qualified or talented enough to rise to power in a nonpartisan system. They recognize that without the leader who elevated them they will never again be in power- and sometimes will be in prison- so they will cleave to him to the end. Heather Cox Richardson
As explained by HCR, this very dynamic drives Trump loyalty at the upper levels.
Very sad, very desperate, very dangerous.

First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's “American Conversations: Andy Kim”, April 10, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: “In today’s American Conversations, Heather speaks with Andy Kim, who explains that with a cabinet more focused on flattering Trump than honoring their constitutional oaths, a Congress too politically captured to pursue impeachment, and White House staff unwilling to resign in protest, the traditional guardrails designed to check an unfit and dangerous president have all but collapsed.”

Text reads: “Today, Heather explains that Lincoln's second inaugural address cut to the moral heart of the Civil War with extraordinary clarity — acknowledging that both sides prayed to the same God, but that only one had chosen to destroy the nation rather than yield the institution of slavery.”

First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's “Politics Chat”, April 9, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a black circle on the left. Black text on a blue background reads: “In today's 'Politics Chat', Heather explains that reclaiming American democracy doesn't require starting from scratch — it requires demanding enforcement of the laws we already have, reminding us that a nation which holds no one accountable inevitably becomes one where everyone feels compelled to cheat.”

The GOP can stop trump's extreme criminality, threatening using nuclear warheads, but instead they continue to protect him. Why in the world would anyone do that? Are they planning on living the next 20 years in an underground bunker? #impeachtrump #dumptrump #standup #war #heathercoxrichardson

Richardson says Trump is unraveling—attacking allies and weakening his own movement.
She argues an authoritarian bloc is scrambling to hold power as support cracks.
