Authoritarianism and American politics
#3
Quote:Among 2008 Democratic primary voters there were significant splits on issues of race and immigration, smacking of authoritarian impulses, that played a role in support for either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

In the 2016 primaries, too. A lot of the super-enthusiatic Hillary Clinton supporters strike me as quite authoritarian in their language and in the reasons they give for supporting her in a way that reminds me of Trump supporters.
