32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader would be a good way of governing the country.
32 percent of Americans believe a military regime or authoritarian leader would be a good way of governing the country.
Donald Trump’s strongman image is a plus for many voters.
Meanwhile, 44 percent backed the American tradition of competing branches of government as a model, if sometimes “frustrating,” system.
Why would people want to live under an authoritarian’s thumb? It’s rooted, experts say, in a psychological need for security—real or perceived—and a desire for conformity, a goal that becomes even more acute as the country undergoes dramatic demographic and social changes. People also like to obey a strong leader who will protect the group—especially if it is the “right” group whose interests will be protected. Recall the Trump supporter who, during the 2019 government shutdown, complained, “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”

And this right here is exactly why leftist should never give up their guns.
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

If you go far enough left, you get your guns back!
That's not far left, that's just left of center. Don't buy the American bullshit that socialism is an extreme, it honestly isn't.
No shit, Democrats are right leaning moderates these days. Too bad a third party has no chance at getting anywhere because I'd be all for a socialist party.
Doesn't look like keeping them is doing much either.
The ballot box still works AFAIK (as shit as First Past The Post voting is)
Are you an accelerationist?
It sounds like the person you're responding to is saying the accelerated option isn't being effective?
Yes it was, but honestly if I make a comment that a pro-gun American can see as negative against, I am aware I will be downvoted heavily.
Lol that's fair. The States IS a country that considers gun ownership a HUMAN RIGHT and doesnt understand how insane lumping gun ownership with being able to access drinkable water is
Are you an accelerationist?
No, Canadian.
An overwhelming majority of California and New York leftists disagree with you and have neutered themselves in order to prevent black people from organizing during the segregation era protests and now the reason is for children's safety from school shooters.
What do you say to those people?
Probably the same old electoral reform gobbledegok.
