Cenk Uygur, Mark Thompson, and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, say Republicans are getting more fascist by the day. Uygur said by nature conservatives are authoritarian so they want a leader to take over and lead.

CENK UYGUR: By nature conservatives are authoritarian so they want a leader to take over and lead. So to them, checking with Congress, that's a pain in the ass. They just don't fundamentally believe in the concept of democracy as much as we do. You can go ahead and cry about that but that's the nature of conservativism that you believe in authoritarianism way more than progressives do. Progressives believe that we have to care more about what everybody thinks. That's what you make fun of all the time, right, if you're a conservative. So own it...

Stop projecting ahole.

They always accuse us of what they are going.

[Durbin]

We aren’t the ones that have been crying about the election results for 3 years.

The young TurkOffs are a living cliche of self absorbed naval gazers..

I guess that the forcible confiscation of guns is somehow not authoritarian. How does that work, Cenk?

[NFHale]

Got news for ya, “Cenk”;

You’re NOT American.

[Fiji Hill]

A group calling itself the Young Turks has a lot of chutzpah to call conservatives authoritarian and fascist, as it was the original Young Turks who perpetrated the Armenian genocide during WWI.

It’s almost funny hearing this “big nanny state government” toad spout his delusional rankings. Just watching him on election night confirmed to me that he is unhinged.

[rockinqsranch]

Absolutely.

Is that guy still around? I loved his performance on Election Night in 2016. Can’t wait for his encore performance in 2020.

What is wrong with these people?

[dp0622]

They close their eyes to the peaceful objections we had to obama vs their DANGEROUS attitude towards Trump.

[bert]

Republicans want an American for President.

The Democrats have no American candidates. They are all European or Venezuelan wannabes

[o-n-money]

The Dems want the govt to do everything for them.

[right way right]

That’s ironic.

[SkyDancer]

The Dem’s had their dictator for eight years - or rather a do nothing humanoid that spoke every so often.

[Sivad]

Hey Cenk, what is more authoritarian than a government
that sticks its nose into and controls everything?
Talk about punchable faces!

Chunk has always been an idiot, now he’s just doubling down.
