1. The very essence of conservatism is authoritarianism

Authoritarians look to renormalize the very things that are wrong with American society: segregation and racism, especially Negrophobia (anti-black sentiment); subjugation of women; banishment of disabled people, etc. In short, they want to renormalize white male supremacy and enforce it with violence if need be.

2. Very interesting links in the article

Thanks. I notice the exact dynamic spoken of here in some members of my family and the hard-core christian conservatives where I work.
