Yes, I agree that a significant number of Republicans support authoritarianism, but they specifically support conservative, right-wing Republican authoritarianism; they would not support a unitary executive if a Democrat were President. It’s about political power, not about an equitable rule of law.

I think the congressional raise is just under 4%, not 40%.

Thank you Dean, you are exactly right, whoever controls the media (our “free press” is actually free to be owned by the wealthy) controls the people and their voting. Trump won because the right wing owns the media.

I wonder if Soon-Shiong has also banned praise of Donald Trump unless it is presented side-by-side with another opinion representing the opposing view?
