Ruth Ben-Ghiat, an expert on the psychology of authoritarianism, who says Trump has grown his “personality cult” since his e******n loss and converted the GOP into “a far-right authoritarian party which has enshrined violence as part of the practice of power.”

She also discusses Trump’s recent endorsement of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has been recognized by European Union leadership as a threat to democracy, and calls Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a “mini-Trump” who is planning for “an authoritarian system at the state level.”

Yeah that sounds pretty good, but I will tell you President Trump is sure better at telling the t***h than peeloosley, scumbert, and biddy bye bye who hardly knows who he is. Then we have Karmala Harris, I know that is your favorite female. Then there is you who has nothing more to bad mouth. President Trump knows who he is your president doesn't.

Trump is better at telling the t***h? Ok. 😂
I am not a fan of any of the politicians you mentioned. Liz Cheney has my respect though.

And am doing my best to forget Trump. The worst president ever.

The psychology of authoritarianism.......humph!!

You have it backwards, but, considering the fact that you live under an authoritarian in your own country, it's no surprise.
Which brings up something else. You live in your country, we live in ours.
Why is this your business? It isn't!
If you want to play it that way, I can hammer all day long on the shortcomings of the people you admire, and allow to lead you by the nose.
That polished up, bi-sexual wuss you admire as a leader is a prime example.
He couldn't whip a newborn kitten, yet, you give him the AUTHORITY to dictate your life.

Show me something on the psychology of people who refuse to cave to authoritarians, and don't believe propaganda, and maybe we can talk.
Meanwhile, you're ruled by one, and I'm fighting against another.
I want FREEDOM, and you Icebacks to stay out of my countries business.

Maybe you should refrain from making such wild accusations about things that you are apparent clueless about.

Justin is an accomplished boxer and could probably still whip your butt.

Canadians enjoy more freedom then Americans. And the fear factor is considerably less.

There is no authoritarianism in Canada. We do not have county Sheriffs or a want a be dictator. We have highly paid police which are accountable and a parliamentary system which I think is much more t***sparent.

And us icebacks and the whole world have a stake in the lunacy that is happening in your country. You have no idea what the repercussions are for the entire world should Republicans be successful in t***sforming the Divided States of America into a one party banana republic.

And answer me this. How is Canada an Authoritarian country? Or do you even know?

Wow dude, you're really eat up with it, aintcha?😂😂

Accomplished boxer? OK......Im an old school redneck. I wouldn't bother to box him, I'd just ruffle his hair, then whoop his ass!😂🤣😎

And, you have no County Sheriff's standing between you, and overreach of City, State, or National Government.
Here, the elected County Sheriff is the one standing between the people who elected him, and the State, and Nation. It's how it works. You don't like it? Tough schiff!!

And you're worried about Republicans t***sforming us into a banana republic? Really?
Look at what is happening now!! It ain't Republicans doing this s**t!!

I'm getting pretty pissed, so I'll just say that you, and me, apparently, have different definitions of..........FREEDOM.

My laugh for the day was his belief Trudeau being a boxer made him other then a bêta mâle Trudeau is. Niki could probably take down Trudeau.

American exceptionalism is not all it is cracked up to be anymore.

Various levels of government here do not practice overreach. So no problems. You know so little about a country you have no qualms trashing.

And I see that you found that there are actually quite a few countries that are freer that the USA irritating. I am so sorry to have busted your bubble.

Good try canuck.

Lol! Read your first sentence, and see how prone to propaganda you are!! 🤣🤣
Mind your country, we'll mind ours!!

Of course, if you ever feel squirrelly, you can come box a Texan.
Just sayin.....

Here is his last fight.
