Tankies and MAGA-types will never acknowledge or are incapable of comprehending that many "opposing" political and economic philosophies (e.g., socialism, communism, capitalism, republicanism, etc.) are all historically liberal philosophies that find their roots in The Enlightenment.

Authoritarians (i.e., tankies, monarchists, corporatists, theocrats, fascists, statists, totalitarians, and anyone else who says "I'm in charge forever") of every stripe are assholes and should rightly be distrusted, ridiculed, and held in deep contempt by anyone who values free inquiry and thought and the principle of "consent of the governed".
