YouTube Description
as posted by the channelYale historian and "On Tyranny" author Timothy Snyder breaks down why Trump's authoritarian playbook is failing — and why that makes him more dangerous, not less.
Snyder explains how Trump is "running out of bunnies to pull out of his hat," why his election-rigging plans are being telegraphed like "calling the cops before you rob the bank," and why even Republicans are quietly backing away. Plus: Snyder's striking observation after returning from abroad — "he does not seem well" — and the Putin parallels that should alarm everyone.
