Timothy Snyder on Instagram: "I wrote about why we should be thinking about and preparing for Trump’s next coup attempt. We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in the history of the United States. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. If we see this, we can stop it, overcome the movement that brought us to this point, and make a turn towards something better."
