    Democrats are most definitely authoritarian and Ultranationalist. They are also hugely militarist and autocratic, as well as holding a strong belief in hierarchy. They’re also opposed to democracy and egalitarianism.

      “Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.”

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism

      Democrats do not reject political plurality.

      Democrats do not reduce democracy (rather they increase it by defending voting rights).

      Democrats protect the separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.

      Democrats do not fit the definition of nationalism, let alone ultranationalism.

      They do not hold strong beliefs in hierarchy, oppose democracy, or oppose egalitarianism. That’s just an outright lie.

        Authoritarianism is when the government does stuff. The opposite would be libertarianism where corporations rule and company towns come back and villages get taken over by bears
