  1. It's important not to conflate authoritarians with conservatives. That is superficially tempting, since most authoritarians in the USA are obviously conservative Christians.

  2. So you made a list of all authoritarians? XD The reason why Vox comes awfully close to conflating authoritarianism with conservatism is that in the USA basically all important authoritarians are conservatives. >>the lefts nature is more authoritarian than the rights<< That is simply ludicrous.

  3. Getting democratically elected doesn't make you a democrat. You can campaign as an opponent of democracy and get elected in order to end it.

  4. No. All fascists are authoritarians, but not all authoritarians are fascists: For example: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Stalinists, etc.

  5. An authoritarian is someone, who prefers security over personal freedom. The only fault in this video is that it comes close to conflating conservatism with authoritarianism, which can, of course, also take root on the left.

  6. Your ignorance on history is stunning. "Leftists" don't hate conservatives, because of youtube channels, but because of workers being horribly exploited in 19th century.

  7. No, I want a wise representative. Unlike you, I don't need to be led anywhere. The masochism of you authoritarians is, honestly, disgusting.

  8. Yes. We must not confuse "authoritarian" with "conservative". All conservatives are authoritarian, but not all authoritarians are conservative.

  9. You have no idea what the words you are using even mean. The USA are a democracy and therefore also a republic.

  10. Dude, you perfectly fit the picture Vox just painted about Trump supporters. >>we could use a little authoritarianism as it is. Fight fire with fire<< See - that is authoritarianism. You prefer security over personal freedom.

  11. MrNateGate Don't try to weasel yourself out of this. You angrily attacked the video and then displayed just the attitude described therein.

  15. Bush, Clinton and Obama are three entirely different presidents. Trump will likely have more in common with Bush, then Bush with Obama or Obama with Clinton.

  16. You complain about being talked down to while revealing yourself as just the kind of Trump supporter, his opponents present as deterrent. If there are sophisticated Trump supporters, you are not doing them a favour.

  17. What faith? They collected data and presented it. If you disagree, you can present your interpretation of the data instead. No need for insults.

  18. Nationalism is bullshit and to be a nationalist in the 21st century is almost un-patriotic.
