I’m a historian who studies politics, culture, and political economy. I research and write about the far right and conservative politics in the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries and the relationship between those forms of politics in America with broader global movements. I’m currently working on turning my PhD dissertation into a book manuscript.

Here’s the thing: if the worst-case scenario happens next week, Americans don’t need to just “protest.” They need to actively try to topple the government.
Also worth noting that the military has already made it clear that in such a scenario, they’re not going to back Trump. \
The whole Lafayette Square saga and the military pushing back against deploying troops in the summer. If they weren’t going to back him against BLM protestors, they’re not going to back him if he steals the election and it’s contested by a broad coalition on the streets.
lol I just realized I'm teaching my class session on Mussolini's seizure of power on Election Day.
