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