When someone who invariably supports a large government, restriction of civil rights, domestic spying and supports that government in spite of demonstrated lies and deceit, they should score very high in the authoritarian scales.

When someone supports profits over people, who believe huge monopolies are good, and that even the basic necessities of life such as pure water should not be a right of being human, they should score appropriately on those scales.

When they don't, well, wonders who they think they're fooling. My guess is they'd like to think they are moderate but that situations force them to come down on the side of authority and profit. The reality is much different.

So far, the only folks I would call "bullshit" on are 3 conservatives.
