John Oliver did a show on authoritarianism and said Trump and conservatives are authoritarians

These are his 3 rules for authoritarianism:

So... Let me point this out.

1. Demonstrating your strengths with parades.
2. Demonizing your enemies.
3. Dismantling institution.

Democrats:

1. Demonstrating their strength by having protests across the country regularly.

CHECK

2. Demonizing "fly over states" and "raycist" "not empathetic" conservatives

CHECK

3. Dismantling institutions. Get rid of the Bill of Rights and freedom of Speech get rid of the second amendment and your right to protect yourself from the government get rid of your sovereignty.

Hmm

1. A civilian protest is a little different than a military parade in terms of ordinance and a few other key areas.

2. Calling someone racist isn’t quite the same as the leader of our country saying this group of people is why Americans can’t get jobs or calling journalism fake because it isn’t complimentary.

3. As far as I know, free speech still exists, but the EPA might not for much longer.

1. Having hordes of people dressed in red and black, attacking anyone who differs from them and attacking people from peacefully assembling is authoritarian.

2. Trump isn't saying that. Nice strawman. However, Leftists are asking if they should use violence against conservatives.

3. Free Speech exists because Conservatives fight for it. Leftists want to regress back into the 5th century where wrong think and opinions mean jail time.

This recent study found that Leftists are just as likely to be dogmatic Authoritarians as those on the Right.

The fact that only the Right gets painted as Authoritarian is absurd and that should worry you.

I'll bet anyone 10,000 platinum that the EPA will still exist by the time Trump leaves office.

Trump is gonna install an ex-coal lobbyist as head of the EPA. You’re probably right about the agency still existing. Not sure about the environment.

I hold allegiance to neither "conservative" nor "liberals". This is absurd. If you really think that people on the "other side" want this then you're living in a strange headspace, and I implore you to reconsider your humanity.
