I have long thought authoritarianism is tied to the Agricultural Age approach of kings. Leaders like Hitler and Stalin took the newer industrialism, but left the culture more inclined to stick with kings by another name. There is an argument between autocracy and democracy. The argument between Republicans and Democrats is just a smaller difference within a democracy. Both the Republicans and Democrats ought to reject the Hitlers and Stalins of the world.
I have begun to suspect that the recent popularity of authoritarianism is a 3T trait. At least in America, a crisis where it is recognized that Trump is not the way to go might purge authoritarianism. I am thus not so sure that authoritarianism is on the rise as the thread name suggests. Ask me again after the election and it's aftermath.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
