McConnell is confusing left and right with authoritarianism as opposed to democracy. What Americans actually don't want is authoritarianism. Granted some do - but so many are confused in the same way McConnell is that I am positive that a commanding majority of Americans do not want authoritarianism. After all, that's what "No Kings" is really about.
