The author, Jonathan Rauch cites a recent book, “The Assault on the State” by Hanson and Kopstein. In it they trace the modern rise of patrimonialism to Putin and how it is spreading like a cancer across the world. We are fighting a disease. Our way of life is the patient and it’s just arrived in the ER.
The book contains a prescription how to cure it.
The first step is awareness. That is what #NoKings is about.
The second is defense. Vote as if your life depends on it. It does. #uspolitics
