Authoritarians come from both parties. And from many different ideologies. The left and the right both want to use government force to get what they want. And both sides are elitists. They hate the idea that people should be left alone to make their own decisions. The people are too stupid you know.
They embrace even the most bizarre concepts to get what they want, no matter how inconsistent they are. They love majority rule if it fits their agenda, but hate it if not. They assert rights when it suits them and make up new ones when it doesn't. Both sides do it. Our little pal Robert has just asserted an old favorite. Hillary does the same thing from a different side of the spectrum. Strange bedfellows.
Silver-tongued rationales for tyranny are a dime-a-dozen historically. Every sleazy regime in the world has employed skilled liars to advance their interests.
Big lies are the easiest to believe, I suppose.
