Yes, the DPP is authoritarian for shutting down Taiwanese news stations that refuse to toe a pro-separatist line and must be overthrown in order for democracy to flourish. DPP politicians should fear for their lives.

Ah, another appeal to violence as the source of morality.

It's very funny for you to accuse anyone else of being authoritarian.

Damn, I guess you like authoritarianism but only when it's authoritarianism that your side is doing.

Nah, the funny part here is you not understanding that any government's power (not "morality") is upheld through violence (whether implicit or explicit), and that the idea of a "non-authoritarian" government is completely nonsensical.
