In this video report on Democrats' authoritarianism (👇), the evidence demonstrates overwhelming Dem support for:

* internet censorship by tech monopolies *and* the state

* both FBI and CIA

* large media corporations

* no-fly lists

How is that not an authoritarian movement?

Ever since Trump descended the Trump tower escalator, self-identified followers of the Democratic Party have *rapidly* adopted the classic hallmarks of the authoritarian mind. The data we present in this video report is clear, ample and indisputable:

78% of Democrats -- almost 8 out of 10 -- have a *favorable* view of the FBI, despite (or because of) two decades of reports that the FBI routinely breaks the law, spies on Americans and invades privacy rights.

Only 12% of Dems have an unfavorable view: close to a consensus.

A majority of Democrats trust and approve of *CIA*: from a major survey two weeks ago.

At the same time, GOP approval of and trust in the CIA is collapsing: only 1 in 4 Republicans say they do.

If faith and trust in the CIA doesn't make you an authoritarian party, what does?

This is the agency that self-identified followers of the Democratic Party overwhelmingly trust and approve of.

Trust and faith in the corporate media is at its 2nd lowest point in history (the only time it was lower was the 2016 election).

The only reason it's not lower is because Democrats *overwhelmingly* love and trust the corporate media. Conservatives and independents despise it.

There's an entire sector of liberal punditry that actually believes the corporate media is biased *against* Democrats and in favor of Republicans.

One could make a valid case for that 20 years ago but now the very idea is laughable, and nothing else. And Dems know that:

How can anyone deny that the Democratic Party and its followers have become radically more authoritarian when *overwhelming majorities* of them want both tech companies *and the government* to censor and control speech on the internet?
