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.
…that’s why they asked you though, because everyone’s definition is a little different. That’s… Kind of the point of the whole thing you’re posting.
From my point of view you’re the one who is trolling now.
No it’s not why they asked. They disingenuously feigned ignorance so they could better frame their argument.
Isn’t that kind of what you’re doing too?
Nope.
