Yes my warnings about authoritarianism all came true -- but NONE of this was hard to predict.
You should ask why so many people with power lied about what was right in front of us and why they were willing to sacrifice the lives of the most vulnerable in the service of that lie.

My mentions are full of folks claiming no one listened to me or to other scholars of fascism. Wouldn't that be a sweet simple story? In reality a shitload of people listened to us, many with the power to protect people. They instead chose to sacrifice democracy to a death cult.
They chose their course of action, and I chose mine. I chose to tell the truth and document it. People bring up me getting harassed but that was the least of it. If you only knew. And I don't regret a thing. I gave you what you needed to hear, even if you didn't want to hear it.
And ❤✊ to everyone who shouted out the truth alongside me. Contrary to popular myth, I wasn't unique and I wasn't alone. You don't need a PhD to spot a blatant autocrat. Plenty of people saw through the smokescreen hustle and fought back. They're still fighting. Support them.
When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one.
Never let these motherfuckers tell you who you are or what you're worth.
