If you ask a certain kind of reactionary, he will tell you that America has run completely off the rails. It is terminally ill from the twin diseases of socialism and wokeness. He’s normally a libertarian–a constitutional conservative–but hard times for real Americans call for extreme measures. We need a dictator, at least temporarily, to completely purge the system of the twin terrors and make America great again. Then, but only then, we can go back to the era of limited government.
The great irony here, of course, is that the intensely anti-socialist right is borrowing and repurposing a concept from Marxist thought: the dictatorship of the proletariat. Call it the dictatorship of the unwoke.
