Would recommend both Partisans by @pastpunditry.bsky.social and When The Clock Broke by @lioneltrolling.bsky.social . They cover somewhat similar ground - the rise of the authoritarian right wing political leadership, but from different angles.

I feel like Rachel Maddow's Prequel should be required historical reading for context in our current time. Also, Anne Applebaum's Autocracy, Inc is a great read that further explores the authoritarian project.
