Authoritaran government in the United States was the norm until the Civil Rights Legislation of the 1960's. Totally normal. Blacks have been disenfranchised from voting most of American history ensuring that "Democracy" was never actually part of our history until fairly recently........below, the NY Times provides a today look at why some people want to go back to what was always the case until 1965.
A picture of that part of America that is embracing authoritarianism. Knowing what is happening in much of America is important.
I can’t agree that the Racist Based Authoritarian preferences of Dixie until the 1960’s was also represents anAuthoritarian American Government. The US Presidential surprises from Dewey’s defeat through Carter to Obama demonstrate a decided plurality of choices reflecting shifting American values.
Racism as an Authoritarian mechanism of populations in the former Slave States enabled the long term Congress members to artificially perpetuate Jim Crow restrictions until LBJ bravely sacrificed the Southern cabal to the growing racist Republican Party. But this did not mean their nasty denial of human rights became national.
The New York Times article articulates the sad plight of the entrenched White Supremacist culture that is unwilling to share freedom and the bounty of America.
If the Republicans are successful in the upcoming election we can expect them to sow the seeds of disintegration by aligning with Putin and Orban with Authoritarian rejection of human diversity as a permanent condition of freedom.
