Writing in the FT, Timothy Snyder (YaleU) suggests that the easiest way of understanding the direction of travel for the Trump candidacy for POTUS is to ask:
what does Vladimir Putin want?
The next Q. he then asks is, likewise: what do the tech bro oligarchs supporting Trump want?
And the answer: a country more like Russia where the President & oligarchs can rule like Medieval lords but with the resources of gods....
If this is the future for the USA heaven help us....
