Americans do not need like or desire authority... it is just not in us. Do you really believe that, Butch? Here's what T W Adorno - the social theorist who coined the term - ascribes to 'the authoritarian personality': "The Authoritarian Personality "invented a set of criteria by which to define personality traits, ranked these traits and their intensity in any given person on what it called the 'F scale' (F for fascist)."[1] The personality type Adorno et al. identified can be defined by nine traits that were believed to cluster together as the result of childhood experiences. These traits include conventionalism, authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, anti-intellectualism, anti-intraception, superstition and stereotypy, power and "toughness", destructiveness and cynicism, projectivity, and exaggerated concerns over sex" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Authoritarian_Personality]
