Authoritarian definition is - of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority.
Totalitarianism definition is - centralized control by an autocratic authority.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Authoritarianism seems to imply some kind of acceptance or submission to or selection of the authority, even if blind submission.
Totalitarian is autocratic central control, no submission nor selection involved.
Seems like what is going on, at least for more than 1/2 of the country, is Totalitarianism.
Both forms require submission. A simple analogy could involve the comparison of a dictatorship to communism where the latter is akin to authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism is the suitable term for what we’re now seeing in the US.
Totalitarianism in all forms is Evil!
