Its clearly not that simple.

Which party always doesnt want to let me smoke marijuana? Thats right, the republicans.

Who have traditionally been for censorship in the USA? The Evangelical Christian right. https://journals.ala.org/index.php/jifp/article/view/7208/10294

Republicans are considered the party of 'law and order'.

Granted I vehemently disagree with Democrats on gun control, but it's not like the Republicans are anti-authoritarian either, they just want to enforce different shit.

You say that but when Democrats legalize marijuana, it goes horribly wrong

Yeah you are right about that. Still, I'll take paying more and not having my behavior criminalized.

I can't honestly tell you I think the Dems are less authoritarian than the Republicans. My original comments had more to do with the fact that the left has traditionally at least been on the side of freedom of speech. My problem is that they are abandoning this and they are becoming more authoritarian in other ways as well, not that I didn't think they were already.
