        i mean, that wouldn’t be authoritarian, if it had popular sentiment, and was cast into law by popular sentiment more broadly. And yknow, also went through the congress, and the executive, and most of the rest of the federal government. But nope we don’t know how the US federal government works here so we pretend like it works otherwise.

        authoritarianism is a specific brand of dictatorship.
