Usually this argument when used by people as a set up for the argument "Their Authoritarianism bad, my Authoritarianism good". That somehow the massive infringements on people's freedoms, the use of terror as a form of governence and the mass deaths that come with any totalitarian state is somehow all as a result of the other side of politics. The amount of far left that will tell you without a hint of irony that Stalin and Mao were actually fascists pretending to be communists (and as a result REAL communism has never been tried because it work) will surprise you when the subject comes up and it is always a precursor as to why their form of Authoritarianism is good and would actually work. The argument that fascists are actually left wing socialists ain't all that different in purposes and intent. Razorfist did a video where he argued both Hitler and Mussolini were socialists, and is a pretty great example of this retarded type of thinking in action from someone right leaning.I've seen this as a common thread with Republican talk show hosts. They think "Hmmm, well, socialism is leftist, therefore, Nazis are leftists! Libtards btfo!" Even though the socialism that they think of is Marxist 90 percent of the time. It's the same thing with the phrase "democrats are the real racists/fascists/nazis etc." They want to separate themselves so badly from any assocation with far-right politics that they'll flip it onto the other side. Ironically enough, that's exactly what the left does that they complain about.
The problem these people who hold these types of political views have with the concept of dictatorships is not that dictatorships are bad, there problem with the concept of dictatorships is that for a good chunk of the time it is not people who think like them who are the ones doing it.
So to save the Republic you install a King? Great 4D underwater Sargon chess thinking right there.Nick is calling for Trump to be forcibly installed first for 4 years, then for 8 years, then says 12 years and then says unironically that he wants Trump installed for life right after he was going on about muh constitution, he's totally lost it hahaha![]()
