Autokratischer Durchbruch gegen die ökologische Realität: Vor Trumps zweiter Amtszeit
Ich versuche immer noch, mit so etwas wie einen Reim auf die Wahl von Trump zu machen. In der Unmenge der Kommentare nehme ich die ernst, die davor warnen, Trump zu verharmlosen, also etwa die Einschätzungen von Jan-Werner Müller und – gestern - von Irene Braam. Wie viele andere sprechen diese Analysen dafür, dass Trump umsetzen wird, was er angekündigt hat: den liberalen Staat abbauen und durch ein autoritäres Regime ähnlich dem von Orbán in Ungarn ersetzen. Es spricht auch nichts dafür, dass er mit der Nato und der EU anders als nationalistisch umgehen wird: Er wird sie benutzen, um Druck auszuüben und die Abhängigkeit von den USA zur Stärkung der US-Wirtschaft zu nutzen. […]You have your own nightmares about what could happen if #Trump wins. #RickPerlstein gives you a few dozen more.

From #RickPerlstein
> I certainly don’t disagree that #Trump is becoming more cognitively impaired and out of touch with reality. But might not these impairments render him a better #fascist seducer, as his invitations to infantile regression become ever more primal, ever more basic, ever more pure?

#RickPerlstein's persuasive hypothesis about undecided voters:
https://prospect.org/politics/2024-10-02-who-are-the-undecided/
"I imagine that…at least some of them…are undecided because they are poised at a threshold. 'Undecided' is a way station between the final surrender to the Trumpian fantasy [protection by an all-powerful figure, all enemies destroyed]…and sticking with the rest of us in the reality-based community, despite all the existential terrors the real world affords."
3) "Nixonland" by Rick Perlstein - this is a heavy book that asks one basic question - how could the US go from the largest democratic landslide in 1964 to the largest republican one in 1972. He argues we essentially live in the house that Nixon built with all of its violence and chaos.
