I first read this essay from Journalist Asli Aydintasbas on Substack.

It was first published by Politico, "Trump Will Overplay His Hand. Here’s How to Be Ready." Here is that link: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/12/01/anti-trumpists-guide-next-four-years-00191724

The author, was a political reporter in Turkey. Here is how she describes this experience: "I lived through the slow and steady march of state capture as a journalist working in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s Turkey. Over a decade as a high-profile journalist, I covered Turkey’s descent into illiberalism, having to engage in the daily push and pull with the government. I know how self-censorship starts in small ways but then creeps into operations on a daily basis. I am familiar with the rhythms of the battle to reshape the media, state institutions and the judiciary."

Aydintasbas offers six tips on how to survive Trump's quest to become a Dictator, and how to be ready when he fails.
