Authoritarianism on the rise?

Authoritarianism on the rise?
On another page, once again I got accused of not reading this article. It isn't that people want to lose their freedoms, but the hardliners in politics fueled with unlimited money have brainwashed society. Now do I think America is in danger of of becoming an authoritarian society? No, at least not in the near future, but more GOP in politics will weaken our democracy.  

It is just that one party has for decades sold fear and scares to this day the shit out of the public. No different how Islamic leaders scare their public and how Israel scares their public. When any group feels threatened they turn to whom they think will be the toughest in protecting the group. That is evolution, but unfortunately, at the same time greed wealth and power hungry politicians use propaganda to get votes.

There has been only ONE party and ONE class responsible for this trend. I have said before, the only thing dems can be blamed for is allowing our politicians to be held hostage to the GOP being forced to play their game. Trump did not start the fear mongering, he simply took TV marketing practices and took advantage of what the GOP was doing for decades and is throwing more gas on the fire.
