Robert Kagan opinion pieces

These are a couple of opinion pieces that I want to be able to find again—so I am referencing them here. That's all this post is about.

The first is from November 30, 2023, and titled "A Trump Dictatorship Is Increasingly Inevitable. We Should Stop Pretending." The second is from this Wednesday and is called "We Have a Radical Democracy. Will Trump Voters Destroy It?" The author, Robert Kagan's reasoning seems distressingly sound. The second piece is excerpted from his soon-to-be-released book Rebellion: How Antiliberalism Is Tearing America Apart—Again. 

I have been grappling with the possibility of leaving this country if it collapses into a right-wing autocracy. Kagan is making me think I ought to start packing sooner than later.

So awful.

And I sincerely hope that Kagan is wrong, wrong, wrong.
