Edit: I want to say that if certain people weren’t dead set on trolling I would have engaged in the argument that the US is already authoritarian. I’m inclined to fully agree. The constitution was written by wealthy whites wanting to preserve their own power. They did sprinkle in some democracy and we do thank them for that. All this to say, that was never my contention.
Conventionally ideology is measured on a spectrum. If being moderately authoritian offends you, move the fuck left.
It would render everything you silly people struggling over American politics say and do even more meaningless if I were right, that’s why you go into combat mode lmao (it is, because I am)
