Personally I'm not sure how can you put WW above DT on authoritarianism since DT has openly attempted to overturn democracy, hates the 3 branch system and has opposed term limits. But I have a feeling this is based on what presidents have SAID rather than interpreting their actions. --- http://i.imgur.com/VwJsmAR.gifv <cite>Guns_of_Verdun posted [p:975719272] in Where ever...

Justin2Krelian 08/28/23 7:12:18 PM #6:	Gonna have to dissect this a bit. How much are they basing the Social Axis on typical right/life social issues compared to legit Authoritarianism vs Democracy? GWB may not have been as Right as Reagan types, but he why is he dead center? I don't know why they put so many Democrats high on the social scale. Foreign policy maybe? I agree DT should be the highest Authoritarian (assuming you use the political freedoms rather than social reasons), but Wilson's probably one who might be close. Other than that, I would probably agree with a lot of these. Just everyone keep in mind that you should never compare the scores you get to where they place politicians. The site may not have made this chart, but the same logic applies here. EDIT: They must be figuring in Foreign Policy a lot for Social, due to LBJ's placement. --- -J2K Currently Streaming: The Witcher, Homeland, Travelers, The Bear <cite>Justin2Krelian posted [p:975719728] in Where ever...

Joe Biden isn't on here I'm not sure what crietea they used to make this graph but I strongly suspect they included policies beyond the presidency I mean if you don't, where the heck do you put William Henry Harrison? --- http://i.imgur.com/VwJsmAR.gifv <cite>Guns_of_Verdun posted [p:975720802] in Where ever...
