One thing I am actually curious about is how so many right wingers are pro police but also pro gun. For me this is kind of mutually exclusive. Either you believe in the state monopoly of violence or you don't. If you do not trust your government you should be anti-police and pro revolution - Welcome to Antifa :P.

I don't see how the American government is less authoritarian than the German one. In fact the thing that annoys me the most about our government is that a lot of our policies are dictated by the US. For example our relation to Russia; Merkel speaks Russian, Putin speaks German and you tell me those two would have not been able to resolve the Ukraine Crisis peacefully?
