Systematically studying a range of issues supported by voters and comparing them against actual congressional votes is not blustering. It's rather methodical and data driven.

The study isn't blustering. Claiming that America "is getting closer to a communist dictatorship" is.

Communist dictatorships don't have the characteristic power structure of a close circle of oligarchs that overall decide policy?

The economic left to right axis, and the authoritarian libertarian axis are orthogonal. I hope this helps.
