Some of the statements you casually throw out as Truth™ are exactly why I worry about the fate of dissenters in the remaining parts of the 4T and just how totalitarian the 1T will be.
I wouldn't say 1Ts / highs tend to be totalitarian. Still, they tend to force everyone to go along with how the recent crisis was solved. If taxation without representation was an issue, get rid of it. If Hitler presented a problem, invent containment. Don't let expanding military autocratic powers get started. The conservative values of the prior unravelling that got stepped on in the crisis tend to be stepped on again in the high.
I could see how a conservative might see this as totalitarian, but it is more like enforcing the solutions that worked.
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.
