"TWILIGHT OF DEMOCRACY: THE SEDUCTIVE LURE OF AUTHORITARIANISM". A book out now. LURE of authoritarianism? LURE?

You mean they get off on it embrace it adore it dig it support it defend it pray to it? get TURNED ON by it? LURE?

Ah I get it. Like fish who get hooked it is a LURE to hook all fishheads for sure. What else do fish get hooked on but lures and worms.

    Sure.  Authoritarianism is very attractive to some people.
    They get told what to do, and never have to decide for themselves.
    If it goes wrong, it's not their fault because they were just following orders.

    AARRGGHH! GAG ME WITH A SPOON! I CAHN'T stend it Walt! It's just all so wrong! NORMAL people want to get out from under the thumb of an oppressor. Normal people want to make their own decisions. Normal people are getting fewer and farther between! Will we be doomed? All the normals? Thank you for your reply! :)

    The irony, of course, are people who spout they want freedom - while following a leader without question.
    As far as I can tell, that is because they don't question their own beliefs - which are generally inherited from their upbringing.
    And the phenomena is observed widespread among all political and religious beliefs.

    Clearly they are clueless abut the vast abyss between what they SAY and what they DO! Clueless seems to be the binder among all of their ilk. Clueless. Thank you for your reply and well what do we have to look forward to tomorrow? D'ya think? More of the same? Why not? What could it hurt? Everyone says so. And so it goes.
