"Carlson—and all the Trump fans who wildly applauded and cheered him—view the president’s relationship to America; or Blue America, at least. Trump is the macho authoritarian father, they’re the disobedient kids who must be pummeled and terrorized into submission. For their own good, of course."

The reality, of course, is that Trump is NOT the authoritarian father, but rather the spoiled, spiteful child who has never known consequences for his bad actions. But he has ~75 million hyper-protective "fathers and mothers" who not only let hm say and do whatever he wants, but help and encourage it. Many of those "parents" are GOP politicians, shamelessly opportunistic lawyers and billionaires, and the ultimate forgiver of evil - SCOTUS justices.
