I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not, but half of the US thinks WE should have an authoritarian government. We may soon be in a post-democracy world.

> half of the US thinks WE should have an authoritarian government.

And each half thinks it's the other one who's voting for authoritarianism tomorrow.

Which is bonkers considering there is only one side that has attempted to overturn an election and has a candidate who openly admires autocrats and genocidal dictators.
I agree that we should extinguish authoritarianism where ever we find it, at home and abroad.

It is also important to recognize the link between this domestic authoritarianism and foreign. There is an incontrovertible link between the rise of American authoritarianism and Russia's attempt to invade Ukraine.

attempt?
