Question is, what totalitarianism do you think we're headed towards? Trump/MAGA totalitarianism or Left/Cancel culture totalitarianism?

Does it mattter which one?

Once we're there, power will be wielded fully by whatever popular sociopath has the rungs on any given day.

That can change day-to-day, year-to-year or election-to-election, and different organisations will have their own all-powerful sociopaths, with their own particular preferences for abuses of power.

Once people have power, they don't merely act ideologically, they act selfishly.
