There's no bad faith. I'm giving historical and contemporary examples of left wing authoritarian worship.
There hasn't even been an argument put forward to back the claim that this is impossible.
You mean ENFORCED "worship"
That IS NOT what is happening with Trump today and you know it. You are absolutely arguing in bad faith.
Yes, partially enforced, partially natural. Similarly with Trump. He's doing his best to enforce it.
Historically authoritarianism has grown from the left wing (but it usually comes from the right). Recognising this helps guard against it happening again.
