One-quarter of Americans have right-wing authoritarian political beliefs, according to new polling. How can the other 74% NOT be in control of America

[TU Curmudgeon]

And EXTREMELY well funded.

The world is, and always has been, divided into two actual classes [1] "The Haves" and [2] "The Have Nots".

"Civilization" started when "The Haves" realized that they needed a buffer between themselves and "The Have Nots" and so created "The Think They Are Haves".

Yes, that meant that "The Haves" couldn't control 95+% of the available wealth, but it also meant that giving up ~15% to ~20% of the available wealth meant that they weren't in danger of losing the other 75 to 80 percent.

Rational risk analysis would indicate that it is NOT a "Good Thing" for "The Haves" to attempt to get back the percentage of the available wealth and thereby reduce the buffer that "The Think They Are Haves" form between them and "The Have Nots". Unfortunately (?) rational risk analysis conflicts with individual hubris, greed, and stupidity.

Would that be a "college league", or a "professional league" event and would there be several run-up "bowl" events (such as "The Storming the Alamo Bowl", "The Burning Down Hough Bowl", "The Trampling of the Bonus Marchers Bowl", or "The Little Big Horn Bowl")? Would "on line betting" be allowed or would I have to go through "Guido & Luigi, Accounting and Investments, PLC Inc (DBA 'All American Amusements')" to place my bets?

Inspired and creative ideas one and all. Maybe add some cheese chasing:



MAGA.

Don't confuse Republicans with Libertarians when you talk about "right wing." Libertarians range all across the spectrum, but one thing they are not is authoritarian.

Republican authoritarian? Not an oxymoron at all. Trying to impose a white-dominated theocracy on this country is very much an authoritarian thing.

But don't they have a God dictated mandate to bring "The **T*R*U*T*H**" to the world and thereby save people from their own follies?

Would they be required to use "American Cheese" (which is actually a mixture of "Cheddar" and "Colby" [which is, basically, 'degraded' cheddar]) or would "Foreign Cheese" be allowed?

Chasing a plump round of American cheese is fine for any MAGAsphere competition even though I wouldn't personally participate on account of possible injuries, but I'd definitely chase a round of Stilton.

MAGA.

Your post is, indeed, "sad beyond believe [sic]".

Fine, if your level of intelligence rises only to the level of proof reader - so be it.

Well said.

Storming the Capitol should be a yearly event.*

MAGA.

* Unless we have a MAGA president.

What a load of moronic crap.

One-quarter of Americans have right-wing authoritarian political beliefs, according to new polling.

The study found that 26% of Americans score high on scale of right-wing authoritarianism. Those who lean to the right and are "high-RWA" scoring have similar views on the 2020 election outcome.

How can they possibly be controlling America without purging moderate republicans/democrats, Progressive Democrats of America and liberals from local/state voting rolls?

We are the other 74% of voters. Yet we keep losing to the Electoral College? Isn't there something wrong with this picture?

1/4 of Americans qualify as highly 'right-wing authoritarian,' new poll finds

26% of Americans scored high on the right-wing authoritarian scale, compared with 13% of Canadians and Australians and 10% of UK adults.

Hitler became a dictator with only a 37% win at the polls. With the support of the "Conservative elite" he was appointed Chancellor of Germany and the rest is history.

In February 1932, Hitler ran against Hindenburg to become president. Goebbel’s propaganda campaign presented Hitler as a new, dynamic and modern leader for Germany. To emphasise this point, Hitler flew from venue to venue via aeroplane. Hitler lost the election, with 36.8% of the vote to Hindenburg’s 53%. Despite losing, people now viewed Hitler as a credible politician.

Following another Reichstag election in July 1932, the Nazis became the largest party with 230 seats and 37.3% of the vote.

The USA does not operate the same as Nazi Germany did therefore the candidate taking the most votes should be legitimate choice no matter what.

In two of the past six presidential elections, the candidate who won the most popular votes lost the election. We need a National Popular Vote.
