JD Vance is an Authoritarian Loon

Too many Trumpers on this board consider what the OP posted a plus. There are plenty of Trumpers on this board who sing the praises of Augusto Pinochet not to mention Putin.
Pinochet was a great man. He killed thousands of communists.
 
Must mean liberals are authoritarians.
 
I remember when Republicans used to believe in individual liberty and freedom.
You must be up there in years.

That hasn’t been true for almost 60 years.

Otherwise, yes – Republicans, conservatives, the right in general are authoritarian, illiberal, and hostile to individual liberty and freedom – seeking to increase the power of the state at the expense of individual liberty.

Vance is yet another manifestation of that fact.
 
That's too bad, because Hillbilly Elegy is a fascinating book.

Too bad he believes in authoritarian statism.

I remember when Republicans used to believe in individual liberty and freedom. Now Republicans believe in using state power to punish their enemies and engineer society just like, well, Marxists and socialists.

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.” ...​
Way back in 2012, in a speech on “How to Reboot the US Government,” [Yarvin] said, “If Americans want to change their government, they’re going to have to get over their dictator phobia.” He had also written favorably of slavery and white nationalists in the late 2000s ...​
Since entering politics, Vance has publicly praised—and parroted—Yarvin’s ideas. ...​
Yarvin is the chief thinker behind an obscure but increasingly influential far-right neoreaction, or NRx, movement, that some call the “Dark Enlightenment.” Among other things, it openly promotes dictatorships as superior to democracies and views nations like the United States as outdated software systems. Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called “patchworks,” which would be controlled by tech corporations.​

You know, Big Tech. Doesn't Trump's base hate Big Tech? Not if they are punishing their enemies through state power!

Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences​

Sounds like the Taliban!

In “Friscorp,” as Yarvin calls the San Francisco realm, an all-seeing Orwellian surveillance system would enforce public safety: “All residents, even temporary visitors, carry an ID card with RFID response. All are genotyped and iris-scanned. Public places and transportation systems track everyone. Security cameras are ubiquitous. Every car knows where it is, and who is sitting in it, and tells the authorities both.”​

It's funny when so-called Tea Party members and "libertarians" support authoritarianism. LOL

Kamala Harris will destroy his aspirations, putting an end to his maga fascist state dream
 
The election results were phony. They should have been verified.

Well, I'd say the election results "were phony" because they always are. The US electoral system is not very democratic at all.

This leads to a very fragile electoral system. The one thing that keeps people trusting in it, is that everyone plays their part in making it like that.

Trump is trying to make people think the electoral process isn't valid. What that leads to is what happens in countries in Africa, Asia and South America. It leads to Coups because people feel justified in having them. If the system is bad, and the person getting the top job isn't there for valid reasons like DEMOCRACY, then why shouldn't I take over the country and do whatever I want with it?

Think how dangerous this is. Or don't and wake up in a dictatorship some day. Probably won't be Trump, it'll be someone else. But it'll happen unless the people make the changes required.

And after 10 years or more pushing Proportional Representation and most people ignoring me, or saying they don't understand what it is, or saying "that's European, we're not European" or other such things... I doubt the US can make those changes these days.

It leads to coups. Like assassinating the opposition.

Who tried to assassinate Trump?

The opposition?

No, a bullied kid in a country where bullied kids pick up guns and kill people.

Fucking amazing that you're trying to equate this to the Democrats trying to assassinate Trump.
 
And here come the conspiracies.

If the event doesn't fit what's convenient, just make shit up, and it will happen.
Ask Cheadle why she referred all questions to the FBI.
Then....

That doesn't even get anywhere close to what you said, which implies this kid was basically working for the FBI or secret service to kill Trump.

Nothing but more stupid leftard dog whistles.

The leftards clowns need to grow some brain cells. Cause this bullshit won't wash anymore.

Nothing is more authoritarian than a political assassination.

The very same fools claiming they stand for democracy are being authoritarian in every way.

Leftards are world class hypocrites.

Our system is just fine.

It works on checks and balances.

Dumbass leftards don't even know what that means.
 
Sounds like the Taliban!
A theocrat. A theocracy. This appears to be what much of America thinks it wants.

They're incapable of just looking around at other theocracies. Or the history of theocracies. "This would be different, better, in America", they think.

Or they are just completely ignorant of its history.

The authoritarian dog whistle means anything the leftards don't like.

Y'know what? Fuck em. No one cares anymore. Leftards have created the demon they fear most. Yes, they're THAT stupid.

I predicted three years ago how this would go down, and leftards have fulfilled every iota of my prophecy.
