Do the other conservatives on here actually agree with me?
No sane person agrees with you.

Please explain exactly how right-wingers can "...re-unite Hollywood, the media, and all the other entities and individuals from the left." If left-wingers wanted to be right-wingers, they'd be right-wingers. So what do you have in mind? Re-education camps? Or what?

And as to the title of this thread - "Why don't we turn America into a right-wing authoritarian state?" - I'm not the only lefty who thinks that the GOP is doing its darnedest to do exactly that. Good luck.

Sure, knock yourself out, I love seeing traitors arrested and held in a federal penitentiary. Addition by subtraction.

Why don't we turn America into a right-wing authoritarian state?

So what's the real problem? Righties feeling a bit deranged having a loud-mouthed NYC liberal as 'their' candidate?

And much more responsibility and accountability for the average citizen.
