Mate - it’s the left that is authoritarian (to be fair anyone can be, including the right, but we are seeing radical left in our time). That’s why many countries around the world are shunning them and going right.
The left arrogantly believes they know what’s best for everyone. They shut done speech, buy out the media and enforce their BS dogma. They speak so nicely and pretend they do it because they care but really want control. That’s why people get sucked in. After a while people see their true colours like aunty Cindy.
