Reminds me of this Trump quote:

"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength ... That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak...as being spit on by the rest of the world."

So maybe authoritarian right could also read: "They showed the power of strength."

Authoritarian left could be a Mao quote: "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
