I'm not sure what you are saying here... I will agree that many Americans have a domineering personality and this is why they rebel against authority.
Otherwise I do not think they would migrate to Trump because he is an authoritarian out of fear. It is not" fear" to be aware of the possibility of terrorism and be prepared. It is just the can do and I'll do it attitude many Americans have.

The "can do and I'll do it attitude that most Americans have"
What is it that individual Americans (or Europeans, or Brits, or Jews) can do or will do to fight terrorism? When you examine it the answer seems to be "nothing much." Individually, we are helpless. For that reason they turn to strong men who demagogue the issue and offer empty solutions. Take Trump's solutions, for examples: bomb the shit out of them, keep them from immigrating to our shores, and build a wall. None of these are practical answers but his followers turn a deaf ear and pretend Trump is so tough we will all be safe. Examined closely, you will see cold fear creeping under the tent.
I disagree. I am not really a Trump supporter, I have not supported anyone of these assholes in a long time. But if he can get the border closed that will help to eliminate them as a NEW source of destruction, enabling their warfare.
Here is how the fuck it is : The sins of the government (big biz) will visit upon the People and they will be required to fight in wars and then put up with retaliation, after said US government totally underestimated the capabilities of others.
These fucking politicians got some idea that all innovation comes from the US when that is lightyears away from the truth. We can't even build a fucking rocket to get up to our own satellites. And they put sanctions on the people who build the rockets they buy for this purpose.
I an starting to think more and more that this is just a show put out on for our entertainment, and to make us think we have any freedom.
What can YOU change in the world ? What can THEY change in the world. Get it ? Got it, good.
Even at the time of the revolutionary war freedom was never going to happen. It is an ideal, and is not achievable. You want true freedom you take your family out to like the outback in Australia and might get eaten by crocs, or Florida and instead eaten by gators. Or African countries which have a plethora of species' that would find you and your kids mighty tasty.
The worst part of my observations of the human condition is that intellect is being lost. I have few friends but they are quality friends. We do not talk much about the gout, or Auntie May, more about how human society is. And of course politics. And science.
But we are in the minority. Others may want to talk about Jerry Springer or the Bieber kid, or some show or video game or sports, but not my crowd. My one friend, the kid I call him, he told me today he only has like two or three friends. He is 23 years old, he should be all over the place. But the "illogicilality" of it all turns him off. He wants to talk science and politics and some sociology. He is young, it will be a long time before he is half my age. But he likes logic and thinking things out.
23/55 How does that work out ? Doesn't matter. Nothing matters when you get to where I am. And this kid, as I call him, may be the future of this country.
Anyway, about Trump, go ahead and bomb them and then you can't leave the country just like the Bushes can't. And soon to join that list will be Obama. Not so sure about Bill Clinton, but if his olady isn't wanted by the Hague by now, if she gets elected she certainly will be by the time she gets done.
The democrat party was stoooooopid even to run her. The republicans had nobody, so Trump snuck in. We are in for one hell of a ride. If Clinton gets elected to the big chair, again, her powers are limited by checks and balances. And the supreme court will not be friendly to extreme measures effected by executive order. However she can start a war and has said she wants to.
Your call, "America".
