To authoritarians (of whatever stripe they call themselves) there is only one true enemy
The people.
Saying things (not necessarily about them) authoritarians cannot hear.
Thinking things (not necessarily about them) authoritarians cannot know.
Doing things (not necessarily against them) authoritarians cannot stop.
If their behavior was not so draconian would it not be simply pathetic? The only real "terrorist" of such people is the one inside their own heads. As it was for Stalin, Putin and May.
