The 2025 Stein Rokkan lecture by Petr Kopecký is not great news for the United States. Depending on how you read it we’re pretty close to an autocracy and that’s because Republicans got to work on unchecked executive power and politicized courts a long time ago.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

“I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.” Truer words have never been spoken by Trump! But legality is a constitutional test—not a personality test. Is this a present “of any kind whatever” from a foreign state? It is—so Trump must seek Congressional consent.
