Well it’s exactly what I was talking about from the very start of my comment thread.

People not having patience for the political process to play out leading them to desire and adopt authoritarian means as their solution to get their way scaring the fuck out of me.

The comment you started with reads like it’s supporting the democratic process in evidence here and I haven’t seen any evidence that the poster had something else in mind. Failing to pass a carbon tax and finding other legislative paths which get more support is pretty much the opposite of authoritarianism.
