'The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur: Republicans Want A King For President, "Less American Than Us"

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...

“”Progressives believe that we have to care more about what everybody thinks.””

Well, then as long as you CARE, we have no problem. But what PROBLEMS does the “we feel good and superior” solve?

It's interesting that the Young Turks take the same name as the Young Turks who committed genocide upon the Armenians and Kurds.

You would think that such a name would be politically incorrect. Yet here they are being pushed by today's politically correct Big Media and Big Tech.

Presumably, Cenk Uygur understands what the Young Turks did in the late Ottoman Empire. They were not a political party but they did control the Ottoman parliament through bribery, patronage, and intimidation. Essentially, they were the government but without any accountability.

Why he would adopt that name for his show is more than a little disturbing. But I must remember - only liberals can identify a dog whistle.

Leftists always;
lie
project
double down.

You know of what a leftist is guilty by that which the leftist accuses others.

Every. Time.

Exaxtly, projection.

We are constantly accused of being “NAZIs”, “fascists”, Hitler, but these COMMIE-wannabes ARE fascists. Their rules have MADE our country basically FASCIST ALREADY!

Fascist = private property with lots of regulations on how to use it.

They’ve ensured that with “EnviroMental” regulation out the yin-yang, never mind anything else. They ARE the FASCISTS.

I’d also state re: “king” LOL - that is exactly how leftists operate, on the principle that there should be some kind of king.

If they did not think so, they wouldn’t pile all the “blame” on a single Republican president, nor all the “credit” on single Democrat presidents.

Leftists think everything is a kingship.
