        Authoritarians literally believe that the only way to run things is to put a bully in charge of them. Not only don’t they believe in democracy or cooperation, they don’t believe in free speech or markets either.

        (Markets are acceptable to an authoritarian only insofar as the bully in charge and his buddies are permitted to lie to, cheat, and steal from other market participants. It is strictly forbidden for other market participants to voluntarily organize to exclude the bully. Any form of organization that does not have a bully in charge of it is illicit to the authoritarian mindset.)

        On Reddit, anyway, on conservative safe spaces with flair you’ll often see people self identifying as monarchists. It’s a nice way of saying “fascist dictatorship”. The leader would of course be psychologically identical to them in perpetuity, just because.

          At one time the far far right were powerless because that all thought they were alone. Trump helped them come out, find each other, join forces, and get a huge morale boost from the knowledge that they’re not alone.

      He’s a grifter. He doesn’t believe anything he’s saying, he’s just like the guy he’s pledging allegiance to. He’ll collect in some way, whether it is in royalties from views, speaking engagements, or whatever. He’s playing a character.

          His stupidness was his draw, though. It’s literally critical to his success that he was too stupid to work the system. Every time he said the quiet part out loud and violated the right’s commitment to cryptofascism (tw: just tons of open hate speech and racial slurs) most of us didn’t care, a few of us saw what was happening and were duly upset and enraged, but a significant portion of the population consisting of exasperated racists who were sick of getting no open support said “Finally…”

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
