Hypothet. - if someone whose positions align highly with yours seizes authoritarian power

How would you respond?
- Say "hell yeah, representative democracy ain't all that great after all."
- Reluctantly become a resister because to you democracy is even more important than your positions on individual issues.
- Bemoan the fact that it happened but quietly just accept the fact.
- Cozy up with the power to the extent possible and try to settle scores with your enemies.
- Something else.
ETA: Just thought I'd bump this to see if any opinions have changed.

You might, though. Responding angrily to an authoritarian power has consequences, too.

I am Generally against authoritarianism as the basis of my political position.
I think a good ebb and flow between conservatives and liberals is important to maintaining a society.

People who align with my political views wouldn't seize total power. I'm a conservative. I believe in limited government. (See: George Washington)
(The fact there are 10 imbeciles who DVed this shows how poor our education system is. George Washington voluntarily denied himself a kingship of this country)

Someone who seizes authoritarian power wouldn’t have positions that align highly with mine.

What if the person aligned with all of your positions besides your dislike of authoritarianism?
