It takes various forms and can be found on both the Left and the Right. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-ca-gov-overstepped-his-authority-with-covid-order-issues-permanent-injunction-restraining-newsom-from-further-issuing-unconstitutional-orders\/\" title=\"Judge Rules CA Gov Overstepped His Authority with Covid Order, Issues Permanent Injunction Restraining Newsom From Further Issuing Unconstitutional Orders\">executive orders<\/a> that bypass the Constitution and\u200b disrupt the balance of \u2063power within \u2063the government, a tactic employed by Joe Biden, can also be considered authoritarian.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper referred to a column written by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-shows-growing-democratic-opposition-to-cheap-labor-migration\/\" title=\"Poll Shows Growing Democratic Opposition to Cheap Labor Migration\">progressive journalist<\/a> \u2062Will Bunch in &#8216;The Philadelphia Inquirer,&#8217; where Bunch criticized\u200b the news media for not openly acknowledging what he\u2062 perceives as an authoritarian streak within the Republican Party. Although \u2062Tapper assumed Christie\u2063 hadn&#8217;t read the column, he asked him about \u2064his condemnation of Donald Trump&#8217;s attempts to overturn the election.<\/p>\n<p>Christie responded affirmatively,\u2063 condemning\u2062 Trump&#8217;s\u200b conduct. However, Tapper pointed out that many Republican\u2064 voters \u2063seem to support these actions, leading him to question whether the party has an authoritarian problem.<\/p>\n<p>Christie disagreed,\u2062 stating that the\u2063 problem lies with Donald Trump\u2063 himself. He explained that people often associate Trump with the Republican Party, and opposing Trump is seen as favoring Biden, which many Republicans are unwilling to do.<\/p>\n<h3>WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/h3>\n<p>It is true\u200b that for many Republicans, Trump is seen as \u200dsynonymous with the Republican Party. Consequently, if the \u200bchoice\u200b is presented \u2063as Biden or the Republican Party, a \u200dsignificant number of people will vote Republican.\u200d However,\u2062 it is intellectually dishonest\u2064 for the media to perpetuate the narrative that fascism or authoritarianism solely exists on the Right, while the Left remains untainted.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that fascism as \u2062an ideology has closer ties to the American Left than the American Right. It emerged as a \u200dresponse to \u200bcommunism but drew inspiration from Marxism, Hegelian politics, and progressive-era ideas. Early supporters of Mussolini included individuals from the \u200cLeft, including\u200d former members of Woodrow Wilson&#8217;s and \u2064FDR&#8217;s administrations.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the media continues to propagate the falsehood that the Right is universally authoritarian while portraying the Left as champions of freedom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Tapper recently interviewed Chris Christie, posing a question often asked by the Left-leaning media: Do Republicans struggle with authoritarianism?
