The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Modern tyranny is terror management.
I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

youtu.be/1rGwXL-Y2FY Act II explores how Trump’s second administration began to consolidate authority, without suspending the Constitution, cancelling elections, or openly abolishing democracy. Instead, power shifted through law, bureaucracy, and selective enforcement. #historyteaching #history

This is great stuff again Prof Snyder. Looks like he's lining up Cuba for his rally-around-the-flag diversionary war/Reichstag Fire moment. Thanks for all your work. I have used it all extensively for my recent series of films for high school students. youtu.be/IQjaNqPFVM4

He got the terminology wrong as well. It's 'radical left', not 'far-left radical'.

Hard to disagree with that. The mid-terms might provide the Reichstag Fire moment.

Not a vote winner. Look what happened with Tommy Robinson's efforts. The UK is not the deep south. Church attendance in the UK is less than 5%?

Totally agree. This is why I am making these films focused on high school students. I think the second and third parts of the film make the case even more clearly. Part 3 will be ready on the weekend. youtu.be/1rGwXL-Y2FY

To be fair, I say as much in the first 30 seconds. It is more a film about what has to happen next for the 'F' word to be used.
