OMFG, you guys and your expressed fear of "Code Words" crack me up.
Southern Democrat slave owners were much further right than most all Trumpublicans are today.
See, this is where I have to watch my temper and remember that I'm talking to a stupid person.
dimocrap scum of the Southern persuasion were authoritarian, not 'right'.
Was Stalin a right-winger? Was Mao? Was Castro? Pol Pot? Yes. In fact MOST leftists carry the totalitarian/authoritarian label. Some Conservatives do. Mostly Military types but not nearly as many.
Authoritarianism can apply to ANY political persuasion. ANY of them. But mostly, almost always to leftists. socialists, communists, fascists, nazis, you name it. Maoists, Stalinists......
In our case, in the case of Southern dimocrap scum, their only political persuasion was corruption. Which is why they were dimocrap scum to begin with.
In order to maintain their way of life, they were very, very authoritarian. Got nothing to do with 'left' and/or 'right'.
In fact, the vastly overwhelming majority of dimocrap filth haven't got the faintest clue what left and right even mean
dimocraps are not just scum, they're stupid scum
