There is something anti-democratic in their hatred of politics.

You are of course right. They always are looking for principled leaders who will do what they think is right and never ever bend to the will of the people.

They crave a dictatorship with a guy they agree with in the dictator's seat.

If you look for principled leaders, the list is not all that long... Hitler was one, Stalin another, Mao a third, Hirohito a fourth.

Those on the far right reject the idea that they want someone like a Hitler. But they do. They did not like Hitler but they want a Hitler type person that agrees with them.

Fortunately such people will never achieve power in the USA. Hitlers and Stalins can achieve power in a single party system, and in a multi party system such as Germany. But they can't do it in a two party system. That is a very good thing.

Thanks for your excellent, reasoned posts on this thread.

The problem is that some people just want to throw temper tantrums, instead of thinking about the consequences of their actions.

Yeah, just like I crave a supposedly conservative President and a supposedly conservative GOP Senate who ignore 80% of the American people and continue to ram through the Shamnesty program.

We are not a dictatorship yet, I believe the proper term is Oligarchy
