Here's something I heard today:
America is in an emergency. America is under existential attack from evil people who must be destroyed by any means necessary.
There is an enemy within and we are in such dire straits that we need to get rid of our system of government, get rid of all of this process, get rid of all these people having a say, get rid of all these safeguards and checks and balances, and instead just have somebody who is going to slay the demon; someone who is going to vanquish our enemies once and for all.
I would really like to know if this is something close to what those leaning to the right would claim as their position. Is this a fair summary of how people on the right feel or believe? If not, is it close or completely off the mark?
I'm curious because it was said by someone on the left claiming to have some idea of how those on the right are thinking. So I don't want to take it at face value without confirming it with some folks on the right. If they're completely wrong, I'll dismiss it. But if it is correct - or pretty close - I can use this to help adjust my thinking.
