In this poll 57% of Americans agreed with the idea of authoritarianism. Right up there with China at 60% How did we get here?

Maybe even harder.
Big Blitz Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Just now, Joe Ferguson forever said: You may be correct and if so we're in very dangerous territory. In this poll 57% of Americans agreed with the idea of authoritarianism. Where in the poll is that? Once again - the commies redefining words. I can’t imagine how we got here Fergy. You people lie, think you’re the “good guys,” and when you’re proven wrong (daily thanks to the end of fake news) you have no other recourse but to make ***t up. The poll favors SECURING THE BORDER and DEPORTING PEOPLE THAT BROKE THE LAW. But you know who supported actual authoritarianism? YOU! 1

Immediately go nuclear? bs. and btw, you are clearly deep red maga... Your exaggerations are pathetic. Calling up the NG to prevent a potential catastrophe in an area known for very serious rioting is not "going nuclear," nor is it a military "attack." Further, you have zero credibility on the subject of what I think of the MAGA group, so give up the idiotic judgement, which you repeatedly place too much self confidence in. It's just stupid. 1 3

Indistinguishable. But if your comparison wasn’t idiotic, I would acknowledge that the left has pushed people so far on certain issues that some things we should all be uncomfortable with currently may have majority support.

Immediately go nuclear? We have people rioting and looting in LA, and the local and state police refuse to stop it, what do you feel is the proper response?

Also from same data - highest of all countries 85.5% of American respondents also agreed with a different statement: “Democracy is the best form of government.” too it took me posting it twice for you to actually read it. Keep living in your bubble. re the 85% that favored democracy, 31% are consistent with that statement. The o54% are either schizophrenic or lying. You can't support authoritarianism and democracy simultaneously. Perhaps they don't understand the words. And about that "law and order" maga's pretend to respect: https://www.yahoo.com/news/legal-issues-raised-trump-sending-031916485.html Edited 5 hours ago by Joe Ferguson forever
The Frankish Reich Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Nice work, lefties, giving Trump the opportunity to escape the Musk fallout and hanging-by-a-thread Big Beautiful Abomination news cycle. You know he loves this. As for federalizing the National Guard: somehow it still surprises me that these righty "constitutionalists" and states rights advocates abandon all objectivity and become cheerleaders for sending in the troops as soon as their leader calls for it. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained 2

You know he loves this. of course he loves this. The news cycle was a reason for this act. More sinister is the announcement that all protests may be subject to military actions. re constitutionalists and states rights, maga's support what ever is convenient (moral relativism). Consistency is not important. Edited 5 hours ago by Joe Ferguson forever

They wave Mexican flags but don't want to live there. 4. Libs always throw around the word authoritarianism when laws they don't like such as presenting yourself to US Customs to enter the country legally get enforced. 5. The rioters are magically transformed into the victims. Edited 5 hours ago by All_Pro_Bills
