>> Authoritarianism is a form of government. There is no tweak in an operational election process that will generate an authoritarian government. And no tweak in an operational election process is cheating if it does not change any votes. You seem to have trouble grasping the big picture sometimes. An election is stolen and as a result of the theft we now have a president who is loopy, and is operating unconstrained. Doing, by any measure, insane things, starting with a wild spending spree, thousands, soon to be tens of thousands, of children in cages on the border (which you conveniently fail to mention), along with uncontrolled entry to the country as an end game. He has done things that have put USA in entirely untenable positions going forward and that will lead to multiple wars, and yet those in control of congress are still willing to steal congressional votes to make sure his blanket unconstrained approval continues. No one dares to challenge him except for the weakened Republican partisans who have no power at all. That is, effectively, authoritarian government. And just for CJ's benefit, since he is prone to hurling unfounded insults, I will provide a working definition right out of the dictionary for you to use as your guide: "Authoritarian - a form of government characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of a strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in the rule of law, separation of powers, and democratic voting." Pretty damned close.

Okay, well, I struggle with your posts as well -- you seem intent on reporting the technical terms while ignoring the essence. That's the difference between you and me. You want to call election cheating something else and ignore the central point, which is that it was cheating. Essentially no different from the administration claiming there is "HUMAN INFRASTRUCTURE." It is difficult to communicate with you when you always have another level of gibberish to block out criticism of Democrats, but are quick to refer to Trump's ideas and sales talk as "lies". So, that makes two of us.
