- now this conversation is cut off from the thread it was attached to, so now almost nobody but you and I will read it, but maybe that's just as well.
Anyway, I understand what you're saying. Until fairly recently few in the US expected it to be taken over by an authoritarian leader, as has happened to so many Latin American countries with US help. So there is not much preparedness. This thread here started because I'm trying to give talks to help people at the Topos Institute understand what's going on - I expect there may be still a lot of denial, i.e. underestimating how serious this is.
