Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

I'm obviously not crazy about the civil asset forfeiture-defending anti-Catholic (I almost said "Catholic-baiter" but apparently that's a favorite term of Bill Donohue's and I don't want to give that never-was legitimacy), but I don't actually think the generic liberal-DA mindset is "as authoritarian" as the Warren wing's dirigisme. The problem I have with a lot of these candidates is the ways in which they're authoritarian, not the extent to which they are. Keeping Harris and Warren as my examples, "authoritarianism" isn't a problem when the alternative is liberty to tread on the necks of your employees, but it is a problem when the alternative is liberty to live unmolested by crooked cops and not be unduly scrutinized for your religious commitments.
None of them are anywhere near as authoritarian overall as Trump.
