MAGA downfall?

[milktree]

I know, that's probably a little premature.

Do I know anyone who works at a university or similar who might have access to this paper?

I don't want to spend $26 on it, but I'd like to read it.

The paper is about what causes authoritarian regimes to fail.

Something I read suggested that the current regime is doing all (or way too many) of the things way too fast without installing enough authoritarian infrastructure to survive challenges. I think. That's why I'd like to read it.

I don't think the intent is to create a long-term authoritarian government like the "Thousand Year Reich". It's much more short term: Loot the treasury, and weaken the US to the point where Putin and Xi Jin Ping can come in and divide it up between them.

I'm at a .edu so I'll see if I have access.

I'll ask the boy if he can access it.
