    The transition

    The people around T like project 2025 have all the necessary clues, they have been preparing for 4 years before the last election, they know exactly what they are doing, which is why they were able to move as fast as they did, and their goal of authoritarianism is very clear.

    The transition

    I am not talking about a dictature, but competitive authoritarianism, where the appearance of a democratic process is there, but there are enough controls and manipulations that you can guarantee the outcome. Most of the steps have already been taken, a few have not, but there are ways to...

    I love your candor :) If you study how authoritarian states got to that point you will notice a 100% similarity to the steps that have been taken so far.

    The transition

    Iran has been putting all its resources to building and stocking weapons and ammunitions underground for decades. It will take years for the US to replenish its stock and even that will be no match for the accumulation Iran has. They have stocks that can outlive any effort from the US for years...
