Disagree, but maybe it is because I am blinded by partisanship. Would love to hear your perspective in detail, if you have the time. (Sorry if this sounds like a CBradSmith style "give me a thoroughly researched breakdown of Obama's Fascism using only the active voice. Please ensure your P-values are < 0.05")
GOP Convention | Ivanka wins
- Thread starter tlwwake
- Start date
Given the newly-adopted Republican platform, I don't think conservatives can say much about authoritarian philosophies.
Of course I can. Science proves it. And just because it Republican doesn't mean it's actually a conservative idea.

My score is 23.86 for being a right wing authoritarian. What's yours?
While stipulating that Donald Trump, who am I not voting for, has from time to time spouted off potential polices or actions that he would take that are or would be authoritarian to one degree or another, the candidate has ZERO requirements to follow the platform agreed to at the convention.
@ThorOdinson13 I wanna see where you really come down on this test. It's kind of accurate, at least for me.

I'll go take it. My views have evolved so it will be nice to see where I am in relation to where I used to be. Oh, I'll read the article as well.

WTH??? Not further south?!?!?
I used to be but I don't like some of the questions so I went back and forth. I'll share some examples when I get home.
Generally, as a first rule on these I never select the strongly agree or disagree, unless it's something asinine like "from each according to his ability to each according to his need. But I've read most surveys tend to give too much weight to those answers.
Let's take the first question right out of the box. "If economic globalization is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than he interests of trans-national corporations." If I select agree it's basically a support of government and regulation but on the other hand if I select disagree it's as if I support corporatism, which I do not.
"Controlling inflation is more important that controlling unemployment" This is all about government regulation.
"It is regrettable that many personal fortunes are made by people who simply manipulate money and contribute nothing to their society." I need examples for this one. What the hell does it really mean?
"The only social responsibility of a company should be to deliver a profit to its shareholders." I disagree but it doesn't mean I want government regulation.
"Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care."
If this said more care I could get on board but customer service is customer service.
That's a few examples. I'll go take the other one now
I agree. About half the answers to the questions were "it depends."
Like the question about are the rich taxed too much. Do you mean in theory? Based on our current entitlement and debt obligations? What is rich? Do you mean income tax?
Can't get it to post on my phone.

No. There weren't any questions about guns, illegal immigration, racism, Obamacare, or integrity. The questionnaire was flawed. The questions about religion skewed my results.
There were plenty of questions about guns and immigration and racism and healthcare. Not sure where you're getting all this BS.
Really? Quote these "plenty of questions." I won't hold my breath because you won't be able to produce them. But I'll wait for your response. Surely you aren't full of shit, AGAIN.
I replaced questions with my own regarding guns, illegal immigration, integrity, and Obamacare. This seems more accurate.
Quote the questions rookie. Don't make me do it for you and make you look like a complete idiot.
Hint, @Clinton Scott, there isn't a single question about guns. There's one question about healthcare. No questions about illegal immigration. And zero questions about integrity.
Do you really want to be "that guy" moreso than you already are? An IQ of 135 should afford you a sliver of memory, unless huffing paint is a hobby of yours.

"Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races."
"No one chooses his or her country of birth, so it's foolish to be proud of it."
"People are ultimately divided more by class than by nationality."
"Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care ."
"All people have their rights, but it is better for all of us that different sorts of people should keep to their own kind."
"First-generation immigrants can never be fully integrated within their new country."
"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
It may not have specifically mentioned guns, but the general idea of protecting oneself is there. If you can't see that, we'll just agree to disagree.
Okay. We're good.I replaced questions with my own regarding guns, illegal immigration, integrity, and Obamacare. This seems more accurate.
