This is truly Maga. It's OTSS and the "politics" of authoritarianism. There is like a bajillion times greater chance that the US turns into a fascist totalitarian regime than it turns into even a democratic socialist country, let alone a communist country.
Who am I to say that's wrong tho? Maybe there is no god and it's all perfectly fine? Maybe there is a God and he's totally cool with Authoritarianism? No one knows for sure.
Mudslinging a primary opponent is authoritarian?
In this case, yes, because the differences isn't about policy, they're the same person, politically. The mudslinging is because trump is an autocrat, everything has to be all about trump and if your motivation isn't devoted to trump, he and his machine will run you over. Comply or die.
