You know the score about Donald Trump, right? He "is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations," says Ph.D. student Matthew MacWilliams in Politico, who cites the way Trump voters rally around, among things, proposals to ban Muslims and deport illegal immigrants.
"Authoritarians obey," writes MacWilliams, who sampled 1,800 voters back in December. "They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened."
Not so fast, say political scientists Wendy Rahn and Eric Oliver, who did their own survey and argue that Trump's followers aren't particularly authoritarian but populist in inclination.

Now who is the delusional one. Make sure when you opus out tomorrow night you mention me for one of the reasons you're leaving FR.
Why? Because Cruz supporters are more authoritarian than Trump supporters, of course...
Haha wow you are a dick. I agree with you and you call me illiterate. Exhibit 1 why I dont argue with people like you.
You are why people are calling Trump supporters Brown Shirts. I did not attack you personally but you feel that some how you can attack me.
Hiel trumpler dick head. End of this thread for me brown shirt.
To the rest of you Trump supporters please dont take the above insult like it is directed at you. I will still vote for Trump if he is the GOP candidate.
Washington wasn’t growing hemp to smoke it and get high.
Trump voters aren’t really angry. Angry was the first stage, but it was not going to get the job done. We are determined and on a mission to rid ourselves of the slime currently running the country.
We only want them gone. We no longer are going to bow down and stay silent to those ruining the country.
The only posters I see calling for zots are Trump supporters and they’re doing it after signing up less than three weeks prior.
It is considered good Freeper manners to ping a fellow freeper if you are going to talk about him. Here I’ll do it for you :) you can thank me later.
“They fail to realize that money is one of many corrupting influences, and that academics have every incentive to lie. I wonder how many of them are even aware of the Sokal Affair.”
The Sokal Affair sounds pretty amusing—1st time I’d heard of it. Thanks.
But yeah, I imagine the Sanders folk would shift blame to the incentives or other environmental variables that somehow ‘cause’ people to lie or behave in a given way. God forbid people be held accountable for their own individual agency.
The jail time is the same no matter what
your reason for growing it is.
No, he wasn't, as far as we know.
But that "dubious claim" wouldn't shield General Washington from prosecution, because Tyrannical Contraband Law is Tyrannical Contraband Law, after all...
LOLAY for your parroting of a Uniparty msm meme.
In Houston a guy on KTRH named Michael Berry has been on his knees for Cruz to the point his radio show does not change day to day.
Meme? Uh, EVERYONE is angry at Washington. Trump tapped into the immigration anger and still has most of those folks.
Conservatives very few reasons at all to like Trump - except he is fuel for their anger at the GOPe.
Uh, the “joke” was obviously on who would be blamed for the shooting. It wasn’t directed at the Victim.
Kind of like the Left always blaming the NRA / Tea Party when there is a shooting and it turns out to be some Insane Leftard.
Come to think of it, it’s just like Trump being blamed for the actions of Bernie’s Brownshirts and the Soros MoveOn.org Instigators in Chicago.
It became clear that the standards here had fallen.
It isn’t that we aren’t bold, it’s just that we realized the forum wasn’t what we thought it was in terms of intelligence or decorum.
I don’t shout, but you are wrong.
You’re willingly blind. If you visit the Trump rally threads or if you watch any Trump rally online, they’re like parties celebrating America’s pre-Obama past and its future under Trump.
I’d much rather have Cruz with me in a dangerous situation.
Unless I needed to run from a bear. Trump is old as hell and I can outrun him. :)
I’ve listened to his appearances.
“I’m gonna hire the best.....”
“I’ll make a better deal.....”
“Go home to your mommy, you loser....”
Scintillating.
