    Has he tried asking one? His actions speak for themselves and are clearly anathema to the principles of democracy and liberalism. Everything about America is anti-authoritarian. From a stochastic language standpoint, Trump is a bad guy.

          right, so it was anti-authoritarian when the natives were slaughtered by the US army. it was anti-authoritarian when they were herded into “reservations”. it was anti-authoritarian to keep millions of people in forced labour camps. and so on. these were all fundamentally anti-authoritarian, yes?

          was it also anit-authoritarian to bomb millions of civilians to death the world over?

            Let’s not forget Japanese internment camps, slavery + Jim Crow, Latino internment camps…

            Obviously a freedom-loving, anti-authoritarian country since day one.

              yes, i stopped at some point but as well as what you pointed out, who could forget the anti-authoritarian liberation of the philippines from spanish rule which somehow oops ended in american rule.

              it’s also anti-authoritarian when the police kill more people in a year than some countries have

              i support the troops in an anti-authoritarian way, y’see.

              and let’s not forget the whiskey rebellion, which ended with no exercise of authority at all
