Authoritarian

Strongly agree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies typically support measures that strengthen state power and security, even at the expense of individual freedoms. The Patriot Act, with its broad surveillance powers, aligns with the authoritarian preference for strong governmental authority to maintain order and national security. Historical precedents include various authoritarian regimes that have prioritized state security over personal freedoms.

Agree

Yes, but the sections involving surveillance and criminalization are too broad

This position acknowledges the usefulness of the Patriot Act for national security, which aligns with authoritarian values, but also suggests a need for refinement to avoid overreach. It reflects a nuanced authoritarian stance that seeks to maintain broad surveillance powers while potentially addressing public concerns over civil liberties to some extent.

Agree

Yes, but limit the scope of the government’s powers

While authoritarians favor strong state powers, the idea of limiting the scope of government’s powers might receive some support as a strategic or tactical consideration, ensuring the sustainability of such powers. However, this position is less aligned with the authoritarian preference for unrestricted governmental authority.

Very strongly disagree

No

Authoritarian ideologies are generally opposed to reducing state power, which would be implied by opposing the Patriot Act. The act's provisions for expanded surveillance and law enforcement powers are in line with authoritarian values of control and security over personal freedoms.

Very strongly disagree

No, and pass strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant

Strict laws prohibiting government surveillance without probable cause and a warrant directly oppose authoritarian principles, which typically advocate for the expansion of state surveillance and control mechanisms to maintain order and security. Such restrictions are seen as limiting the government's ability to act decisively.
