Authoritarian populism is a contradiction in terms.

Authoritarian collectivism is the real concern, which is why populism is making such great strides.

John Kerry warned countries from Europe and beyond on Thursday to beware of an increasing “danger of authoritarian populism.”

Well, duh.

Kerry is strongly in favor of "authoritarian tyranny", with incompetent and belligerent tools like himself in the driver's seat.

Of course he would bristle at anyone and anything that has the temerity to push back against his foolishly wrong-headed and destructive ideology and agenda.

Moron Kerry gives his nemesis the oxymoronic moniker of "authoritarian populism".

Yawn.

Never out grew his original job as Lurch the butler. I’m glad he has a job to fall back on though.

Anyone ever hear of an outgoing Secretary of State traveling around the world throwing shade at the incoming President? Seems unprecedented to me.

Americans for Trump warn Kerry, others against 'authoritarian socialism.'

That's a bit redundant, though.

After all this, I don’t think Gomez would want his services anymore. He might have been hitting on Tish behind Gomez’ back too.

“a rise of authoritarian thinking, accompanied by backsliding on human rights, restrictions on independent media, a spike in acts of intolerance and hate crimes”

He’s obviously talking about all the newly-arrived muzzies.

Another democrat-with-a-halo picture. google "Obama halo" to see tons more.

This is the APs statement on it:
"The halo issue has been around for over a decade," he said. "It's never been our photographers' goal to give the president a heavenly glow. The out-of-focus presidential seal is simply a tool to separate the subject from the background so he is not speaking in a sea of black."

Uh huh, right. A search for "Bush Halo" turns up what appears to be three actual photos of Bush aligned with a halo-looking background if you discount the versions of same where they are scaled and/or flipped. Obama has dozens. Planned propaganda. And the proof will be when after four years of Trump we can go back and see not one picture of him like that.

And what job would that be? Other than being in the US Navy, when has Kerry had a real job?

He's way past his prime to pick up being a gigolo, and the second wife's first husband's trust fund goes to the Heinz kids, that leaves finding a ghost writer to come up with stories for his memoirs, or hanging out a lobbyist shingle, and then hanging out in the Senate showers trying to influence any remaining colleagues that actually respect him enough to stop and listen.

Plato’s Five Regimes comes to mind here.
Lerch truly believes he is a member of a noble Aristocracy (who know best what is good for the people). He fears Trump is an Oligarch who will quickly transform into a Tyrant.
In reality, Lerch is a member of a weak and feeble Timocracy which, if Hildabeast were elected, would continue the work of The One in turning our country into an actual compete and total tyranny.

Lefties sure like to “warn” people, don’t they? They have that in common with the Mafia and ISIS.

>> “Other than being in the US Navy, when has Kerry had a real job?” <<

In the Navy, his job was putting himself in for Purple Hearts for essentially self-inflicted wounds, and silver stars for failed missions.
