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...

This is our nation’s problem. Everyone would like to finger-point. Well, those whose voices are loudest want to point fingers, and it exists on both sides. I’ve done it. I started forcing myself to take a step back before placing blame in certain areas, because it only widens the divide.

The perpetuation of the notion that we’re too different to find common ground is a self-fulfilling prophecy. All sides genuinely believe it, and it makes things worse. I’m pretty sure that it accelerated during Obama’s admin, and it’s how we got to where we are now.

Yeah, I can tell by the way all the major social media platforms have been so tolerant of opposing views. /s

(paraphrase) “Everyone that is against us are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, deplorable people...they just don’t behave in a civilized way”.

...and doesn’t see the hypocritical irony in his statement.

Don Jr., who is actually more conservative and pro-gun than his father.

Don. Jr. doesn’t need any training.

And, in his words, “I like to be in the fight.”

Our point about ‘liberals’ being for big government making them more akin to fascists must be hitting these idiots where it hurts if they’re now trying to claim limited government types are ‘authoritarian.’
