Morphine Prince 109,671 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maine Gov. Paul LePage suggested that the United States might benefit if a victorious Donald Trump exercised “authoritarian power” to balance out the past eight years of President Barack Obama’s tenure. The embattled Republican governor’s apparent endorsement of “some” authoritarianism — a political system based on unlimited governmental power and limited personal liberties — came during an interview on a conservative radio show in Maine. He also accused Obama of being an autocrat, which is an absolute ruler, such as a monarch or dictator, who has all the power of the state in his or her hands. “Sometimes I wonder that our Constitution is not only broken but we need a Donald Trump to show some authoritarian power in our country and bring back the rule of law,” LePage told George Hale and Ric Tyler of WVOM Tuesday morning, “because we’ve had eight years of a president that just — he’s an autocrat, he just does it on his own, he ignores Congress, and every single day, we’re slipping into anarchy. I just think four more years of a similar mentality is going to destroy this nation.” LePage also dismissed the controversy surrounding Trump’s vulgar conversation about women from 2005. He conceded that Trump may be “a slimeball,” and he wouldn’t want the real estate tycoon to date his daughter, but said that national security and the national debt are more important. Furthermore, he attacked former President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky scandal. “It’s one thing to be in a locker room and talk. It’s another thing to be the White House and do it,” he said. “I’m sorry, guys.” Source: https://www.yahoo.com/news/maine-governor-wants-authoritarian-power-from-trump-195354810.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I doubt it will sway many Trump supporters: "I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism."http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
