But
big chunks of it were written by monarchists; hence readers with
authoritarian values can easily find support for that position.

In
some of George Lakoff’s writings, he talks about ways that
authoritarian values [not his word for this] permit considerable
misbehavior when the object is to uphold a hierarchical order.
Supporting an unsavory character because he’s on “our” side may be an
example.
