Okay so if Trump is an illiberal Populist, then what is Biden? He canceled hundreds of billions in student debt, gave away hundreds of billions more to alternative energy companies, has worked to eliminate due process on college campuses, and selectively declines to enforce laws, including on immigration.

Justin Treadau is as authoritarian as Orban, but he never makes the list. And speaking of government control where do all the Covid policies and those who push them reside, does that not count because of science?

The Covid response had little to do with actual science.
