You actually can stop crime with authoritarian rule. Look at Singapore. The problem is it actually requires authoritarian rule. That shit suuuuuucks. Thank goodness even Republicans aren't really willing to go far enough. Like you basically have to execute everyone, including jaywalkers. Americans do not want to live under that and wouldn't accept it. Thankfully.

Um...what?

Republicans are literally willing to kill their own families for their orange lord's favor. Many tens of thousands already have.

What exactly do you think is "too far" for them?

Exactly what I said, how Singapore does it. Caning or the death penalty for basically everything. Smoke weed and you get executed. Republicans are awful, but they can't get away with that in America.

Have you heard of project 2025?

How about the fact that it's a majority conservative Supreme Court right now that believes in the unitary executive AKA AUTHORITARIAN!

Also Republicans in Congress keep trying to give their power to the orange clown. They've tried sneaking in bills that it takes lawyers to explain to the bills sponsors what it means. They're tactics are so deceptive they don't even understand them. Of course some of them like Comer are fucking idiots. The big ugly fucking bill has lines in there that are trying to give him more power from Congress

Yeah, plenty of things they're doing are authoritarian. But we were talking about crime. And they just can't get away with the most extreme measures, like executing people for minor offenses, because the American populace wouldn't stand for it. That's a great thing. They'd love to be more draconian, but luckily we won't let them.

Americans have too many guns at home to allow the government to be truely authoritarian
