        I know the chart you’re referring to, but we’re speaking in the context of US politics here. The wave function has collapsed to “right” = authoritarian and “left” = liberal. So, your original assertion presents the false equivalence that has allowed us to get to this current state.

          The wave function has collapsed on the right to authoritarian but on the left people can still be either liberal or authoritarian.

          Union leaders are left wing and are worshiped as authoritarians.

            I dunno man, that’s pretty flimsy. I can’t even name a union leader. Years of right-wing authoritarianism have rendered unions ineffective and obsolete.
