I meet Dick, a Donald Trump supporter, at Don's Diner in New Hampshire.
We order tenderized Deep-Fried Chicken Tenders with sauteed onions, mushrooms and peppers, topped with brown gravy.
Dick could be described as being an authoritarian, who likes strong leaders.
Donald and his daughter Ivanka.
Why does Dick like Donald Trump?
"Trump will bring back some discipline," says Dick. "Too many kids these days have no discipline."
Dick opens his bible and reads: "Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys."

I get the impression that Dick is sexually attracted to the young waiter.

So who are the leaders that Dick admires?
"Hitler was a strong leader, and a good Catholic," says Dick.

"Hitler was a strong leader, and a good Catholic," says Dick.
Dick takes out his copy of Mein Kampf and reads Hitler's words: "I had an excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal."
Dick drinks some Coke and then continues: "Hitler was never excommunicated nor condemned by his church."
Donald trump said: "You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
So, what is Trump going to do in order to improve America?
Dick smiles and says: "It's the corruption, stupid. Trump is going to end the corruption."
What about 9 11?

Dick explains: "These Muslims did 9 11. Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. Bush was too soft. Donald Trump is going to bomb the shit out of ISIS."
"Trump is perfectly normal," responds Dick.
I quote the words of Trump: "I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

Right-wing authoritarians are easily scared.
Right-wing authoritarians like:
1. Established authorities (eg. the Torah, the Bible or the Koran, the US Constitution, certain outspoken activists such as Sandra Froman)
2. Established conventions and norms (eg. a belief that most people are exclusively heterosexual, the belief that one's own race or religion is superior, the belief that people need to carry guns)
3. Strong punishments for those who do not conform to their ideas. (Israeli police threaten Palestinians with gas attacks “until you die")
Authoritarianism in American Politics.
According to research by Canadian-American psychologist Bob Altemeyer, right-wing authoritarians tend to go in for faulty reasoning.
Specifically, they are more likely to make incorrect conclusions from evidence; and likely to hold contradictory ideas.
Authoritarians are also more likely to uncritically accept faulty evidence that supports their beliefs, and they are less likely to acknowledge their own limitations.[14]
Authoritarians generally score lower on openness to experience.
[23][24][25]
According to Bob Altemeyer, authoritarians get a lot of their ideas about how people ought to act from their religion.
Authoritarians tend to be ethnocentric and prejudiced against racial and ethnic minorities[27] and homosexuals.[28]
In a study by Altemeyer, 68 authoritarians played a three-hour simulation of the Earth's future entitled the Global change game.
Unlike a comparison game played by individuals with low Right Wing Authoritarian scores, which resulted in world peace, the simulation by authoritarians became highly militarized and eventually entered the stage of nuclear war.
By the end of the high authoritarian game, the entire population of the earth was declared dead.[14]
Some people believe that it is possible to be an authoritarian libertarian.
These people may quote Singapore as an example of a country run by authoritarian libertarians.
Rand Paul may claim to be a Libertarian, but he is actually rather authoritarian.
Rand Paul Is Not A Libertarian.
A true Libertarian would be opposed to the authoritarian General Pinochet of Chile.
Yet certain Libertarians were fans of Pinochet.
The 'libertarian' Tea Party people are mainly social conservatives, and have much in common with the Authoritarians.

The Libertarian Stephan Kinsella has written: "We libertarians do not oppose hierarchy or command or authority in general."
There is a belief that libertarians becomes authoritarians when they obtain power.
And, authoritarians become libertarians when they lose power.
There is a suspicion that libertarians want the sort of liberty that will allow them to advance their own selfish agenda.

Authoritarians tend to prefer Moses to Jesus; and tend to prefer Canada to Costa Rica.
Authoritarians are often scared that they will be found out.
Cardinal Spellman was scared that the public would discover that his nickname with his gay partners was 'Franny'.
Hitler was scared that the public would find out that his paternal grandfather was a Jewish merchant, Leopold Frankenberger; and that his lover was August Kubizek.
Most of the top Republicans would appear to be bisexual.
Authoritarians are sometimes called 'Conservatives'.
Of course, not all Conservatives/Authoritarians are exactly the same; and there are Communist Authoritarians.
There are 'tough minded' conservatives and there are 'tender-minded' conservatives.

A tough minded gay conservative like Richard Nixon and a reportedly tender-minded conservative like Mother Theresa might both claim to worry about abortion.
But they would have different views on the bombing of Cambodia.
Research by John Hibbing , of the University of Nebraska, shows that conservatives/authoritarians tend to be easily scared.
The psychology of political parties: Why conservatives fall in ...
Typical conservatives, Sir Jimmy Savile and Prime Minister Edward Heath. Both are said to have liked boys.
The rich elite, whether Nazi or Zionist or Chinese or Hindu, tend to be conservative in the sense that they favour favour 'Authoritarianism'.
Some of the 'working class' also support 'Authoritarianism'.
Think about lower-working-class attitudes on:
Crime and Punishment
Patriotism
Race
Homosexuality
Eysenck
Hans Eysenck, Professor of Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London studied political attitudes.
The leaders of Nazi Germany and the current leaders of Israel could both be considered to be 'Tough-Minded'.
Eysenck referred to "Radicalism", "Conservatism", "Tough-Mindedness" and "Tender-Mindedess".
Eysenck's research found that the most intelligent people occupied the middle ground between Radicalism and Conservatism; and occupied the middle ground between "Tough-Mindedness" and "Tender-Mindedess".
In other words, the most intelligent people do not label themselves as conservative/authoritarian.

According to John Alford, a political scientist at Rice University in Houston, Texas, our political opinions may be partly determined by our genes.
"Trying to persuade someone not to be liberal is like trying to persuade someone not to have brown eyes," says Alford.
Alford has found that identical twins tend to have similar political views.
French Front National party founder Jean-Marie Le Pen was outed as gay. Outed.
Research by John Hibbing , of the University of Nebraska, shows that conservatives/authoritarians tend to be easily scared.
This is why conservatives/authoritarians tend to support the military, guns, armed police, and dogmatic religious views.
The researchers used eye trackers and other devices to measure the involuntary responses of 'conservatives' and 'non conservatives', when they were shown pictures of scary things such as blood, maggots, spiders...
Paul Babeu and Jose. Conservative Republican Sheriff and Wannabe Congressman Paul Babeu was outed as gay, in Arizona.
New York University social psychologist John Jost published a synthesis of existing psychological studies on ideology, suggesting that conservatives/authoritarians have a need for certainty and an intolerance of ambiguity.
Research from around the world shows that conservatives/authoritarians fear various threats and seek order, certainty, simplicity, and familiarity.
Conservatives/authoritarians are sometimes, secretly, scared bisexual fascists.

He found evidence that:
People who are dogmatic tend to be conservative/authoritarian.
People who enjoy lots of new experiences tended to be liberal.
People who prefer simple and unambiguous paintings, poems and songs, tend to be conservative/authoritarian.
People who do not see things in black and white, people who understand complexity and ambiguity, tend to be liberals.
Many psychologists describe personality in terms of conscientiousness, openness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism.
People with high openness scores tend to be liberal.
Ira Carmen, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has studied a gene involved in regulating levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Conservatives love guns. Idaho toddler shoots and kills his mother
Ira Carmen, of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has studied a gene involved in regulating levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
High levels of dopamine can cause obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Carmen speculates that high levels of dopamine might be linked to the need to impose order on the world.
Some conservatives/authoritarians might have high levels of dopamine.
Some scientists suggest that conservatives/authoritarians may very often be dogmatic, routine-loving people and that liberals are usually free-spirited and open minded individuals.
Not another picture of Hitler with a boy!
However, we should not assume that all conservatives/authoritarians are the same and that all liberals are the same.
Tough-minded conservatives/authoritarians would support militarism and harsh punishments.
Tough-minded radicals might support easier divorce laws and fewer restrictions on birth control and abortion.
Tender-minded conservatives would tend to oppose imperialism and easy abortion.
Tender-minded radicals would tend to support racial equality and peaceful solutions to conflicts.
Republican Larry Craig was outed as gay.
When it comes to politicians one could perhaps divide them into the following groups:
1. Fascist mafia (tough minded conservative)
2. Totalitarian socialist mafia (tough minded radical)
3. Fundamentalist fascist mafia (tough minded conservative)
4. Mainstream militarist mafia (tough minded liberal)
5. Unelectable

ReplyDeleteThe Mind Virus
ReplyDeleteIdeas behaving in society like viruses in the body
An essay in hypertext by Scott Bidstrup
http://www.bidstrup.com/virus.htm
I remember a Star Trek episode where the Enterprise crew had come to a planet with only two people (aliens) alive on. They were both black and were divided equally down the middle but one was black of the right side and the other was black on the left. They were identical in every other way and both were played by the same actor.
ReplyDeleteThese two different types of people had fought each other so much that were now only two people left alive on the planet. They absolutely hated each other. The screenplay was good because both people seemed very nice when the Star Trek crew spoke to them on their own. Then the black and white aliens would describe how monstrous the other type of aliens were, and vice versa.
One alien did come across as a little worse than the other, but then he would describe the slightly nicer one as psychopath who couldn’t be trusted who had committed many terrible crimes. In this way the viewer was left flipping about one way after another seeing both points of view which tied the audience in knots.
But there does seem to be two types of human, and it has nothing to do with race and colour. There are the authoritarian conservatives and then there is the rest of us, which includes moderate conservatives.
It's as if there is something wrong with the brains of authoritarian people because they can't think things through. It wouldn't be a problem except there are enough of them to ensure that the Conservatives keep getting voted back in power which has pushed the Labour Party to the right and destroyed our society.
The authoritarians can always be relied upon, though, to blame the poor and everyone else but never the ruling class for any of societies problems, or even all the wars they cause, it's always the other countries fault. And authoritarian people tend to be complete hypocrites without realising it.
Yes, those on the authoritarian right do seem to be a different species, sort of Neanderthal, a basic striped down version of the rest of us. And very dangerous. Some liberals say that we must welcome them in, that they are part of our family. This is a very liberal compassionate idea. I say yes to that but we must not ever let them congregate together, because if they do this whole fascist nightmare might begin all over again.
