Republican: fascist, authoritarian, Mostly rich old white dudes being racist towards blacks and telling them how they know whats best for them. Their politicians wear red ties
Democrats: fascist, authoritarian, Mostly rich old white dudes being racist towards blacks and telling them how they know whats best for them. Their politicians wear blue ties
@freemo most Democrats aren't facists, and some Republicans arent either
@louisrcouture That has been overwhelmingly not my expiernce.. In face while both are overwhelmingly fascist I've foudn when it comes to the authoritative aspect of it (which is the most important IMO) the democrats are in fact a bit worse than the right.
@freemo facism is not when government does a thing you don't like
@louisrcouture Of course its not, I never claimed it was. Nor did I even suggest it was...
Authoritativism is a measure of government that has nothing to do with "things you dont like"... it has to do with how much the policies rely on force, and violence vs how much the policies try effect cultural change or other "softer" approaches.
A law that chops off your hands when you still is **very** authoritative... a law that puts you in jail for a long time is fairly authoritative too... if instead the government tries to reduce crime via investing in better mental health access, paid for by taxes, thats still a bit authoritative but far far less so... the same programs however paid for by donations wouldnt be authoritative at all.
Authoritativeism has nothing to do with what you like and everything to do with how much force a government assumes in its policies.
@freemo literally what part of Democrat party ideas today is facist
@louisrcouture To be care... I should say "Personal freedom of Americans"... they dont care about personal freedoms of anyone else of course.
