The article you link appears to confirm what I'm saying. In the current American political landscape it's left wingers who are the most authoritarian, who dearly wish for a huge government running everything and taking care of them. Republicans, especially Tea Party people, are exactly the opposite. They want a smaller government with less power. Trump is definitely a big government Republican, and authoritarian. He's talking about the federal government taking control of all sorts of things. His followers want him to take control and make things right. So it becomes just a matter of which policies the big, authoritarian government follows.
So, if some candidate were promising to give humans the power of flight, anyone who mentions that it's impossible would be considered anti-flight. I get it. The Tea Party can imagine all sorts of realities that don't and can't exist and we're supposed to pretend that they can wave their libertarian wands and change the entire dynamic of our society, its history and, indeed, the physical laws of nature. What fools!
