using sarcasm but although I recognize that, and agree with its premise, I also see that he is using that to reach out to his viewers who also may have been misguided. Still, even if they honestly were misled or mistaken, even a "little" authoritarianism is too much. So if that's part of the humor, I'm not feeling it.
