  1. Wow, more scientific proof that Donald Trump is "authoritarian." We now know that Democrats who favor a more centralized and more powerful government with more laws regulating all aspects of a person's life are low in authoritarianism. Those who are sick of the growth of the state and want a more libertarian decentralized government are "authoritarian." And don't forget that, although Trump favors vetted and legal immigration, he opposes, like most countries in the world, random people coming into the country illegally . Clearly a problem with "the other." This reeks of the same skewed and phony "scholarship" as Theodore Adorno's discovery that half of the political spectrum was authoritarian -- the half that didn't support his own Marxist philosophy (which we all know is decidedly non-authoritarian). 'I'm sure this scholarly and scientific format will be quite convincing to some, perhaps many but for some of us... 'Nice try.
