Authoritarianism

Strongly agree

Yes

Authoritarianism generally supports strong government control and surveillance to maintain order and security. The Patriot Act, which was enacted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, expands the government's surveillance powers and is in line with authoritarian principles. However, some authoritarians might still have concerns about specific provisions or potential overreach.

Slightly agree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

This answer represents a more nuanced position within the authoritarian spectrum. While authoritarians generally support strong government control and surveillance, some might acknowledge that certain sections of the Patriot Act are too broad and could lead to potential abuse or overreach. This position still supports the overall goals of the Patriot Act but calls for more targeted and specific measures.

Strongly disagree

No

Authoritarians typically prioritize national security and order over individual privacy rights. The Patriot Act's expansion of government surveillance powers aligns with this priority. Therefore, authoritarians would generally disagree with opposing the Patriot Act. However, some might still have concerns about specific provisions or potential overreach.

Very strongly disagree

No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

Authoritarians prioritize national security and order over individual privacy rights, and they generally support expanded government surveillance powers. Strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant would be seen as a significant constraint on the government's ability to maintain order and security, which is contrary to authoritarian principles.
