America has always had a streak of authoritarianism running through it.

Look at what happened to authoritarian W Bush's approval numbers in September 2001. They went from the lowest of any POTUS to the highest in a matter of days.

I don't want strong leaders. Strong leaders go rogue.

I want strong representation. With accountability.
