The rule of law is authoritarian by definition. So authoritarian vs authoritarian?

Anyway you’re wrong. There are a good number of left wing engineers out there but they’re outnumbered by libertarian chuds in the industry.

That’s not true of any standard definition of authoritarianism: the whole point of the rule of law is that it applies consistently to everyone rather than following the whims of an autocrat. That’s why the Republicans being able to stop enforcement of the laws Trump broke was so worrisome for many people as it marks the transition away from the rule of law which had existed previously.
