Your mistake lies in assuming that any leftist, ever, is actually anti authoritarian. They're not.
They're anti moral authority, anti decency and anti truth. Any just, right or good authority they chafe against. But even in the same breath they'll demand accession to bizarre or nonsensical rules, even purely made up ones.
The common factor is that a leftist will always side with evil. They will contort themselves and whatever their supposed beliefs are to align with whatever is the most wicked outcome. They'll contradict themselves in the same sentence and won't bat an eye.
Being comfortable with hypocrisy is a hallmark of evil.
I disagree. there are some leftists who legitimately like harris, but the majority seem to reluctantly back her because she's not Trump. the memes and clips of her making retarded statements seem to have entered the leftist cultural sphere.
Obama, however, is their patron saint. Every leftist loves Obama unconditionally.
When will people get it through their head that this isn't about being logically consistent on a philosophical position? It's about defeating an enemy. This is tribal warfare. It's good if I do it, it's bad if you do it. That's always how it's going to be so don't be shocked every time it's exactly that.
Good post. Correct on all accounts. Only thing I would add is that some leftists do care about being morally and logically consistent like the right but because they see the right as such a threat, they fail to see their own hypocrisy while suggesting it's actually different because... and the right-wing actually does something quite similar. The left even tries to attack the right with the right's hypocrisy. Many right-wingers laugh at it because they don't understand how it's hypocrisy, which is what the left does when the right points it out because both sides are so dialed into their bubble of reality, they don't understand the other side's perspective.
I understand both sides only because I was a staunch leftist who even argued for communism before I switched to a staunch right-winger who has now actually dialed back to basically neither anymore. I don't really have a group anymore. I think both sides are pretty damn fucked and don't serve my interests.
Anyway, the other thing I wanted to add is that the right is losing as you say because the right doesn't understand many of the values/beliefs they hold dear are subverted values literally created by their enemies specifically designed to handicap them so they can't win. If you were a slave master, wouldn't you teach your slaves that they shouldn't have moral values that pose any threat to the masters? That's exactly the kinds of morals most right-wingers have. Moral values that pose 0 threat to the controllers of society such that nothing will change even with right-wingers running the government. Many of the values right-wingers hold are values that wouldn't fundamentally change society at all but would just keep society progressing in the exact same way it is now, albeit with a slightly different flavor but at a fundamental level, hardly anything would change and we'd still be headed in the same direction as a civilization as we're going now. Most right-wingers are equally opposed to actual fundamental changes to our society's culture that would change the course of civilization entirely in the same way leftists are against changing these fundamental values/beliefs. If neither side wants to change these fundamental values/beliefs then both sides are basically the same thing wearing different colored uniforms and putting their dicks in different holes.
That requires the moral courage to pre-judge people. Most normies are still subject to their cultural indoctrination that in order to be a "good person" you have to "give people a chance". I know even 10 years ago I was still a lolbert who wasn't willing to dismiss my enemies as gay commies and still occasionally considered some of them to be sincere,
You should see the comments on Resetera regarding the arrest of Telegram's CEO. Leftists are without any kind of consistent sense, logic, or rationale beyond affiliations and whatever serves their personal interests.
That's why they're perfectly comfortable with giving away everyone's rights, just so long as they're handing the keys to someone on the left.
They're not stupid, they're evil. They know they don't mean what they say. They don't care. All that matters to them is power. And the only power that matters to them is the power to harm you.

leftists are not pro or anti anything really. they have no convictions. They will go with whatever their anointed leaders tell them to go with.
they will cheer on genocide if Obama tells them it's good.
They are and they do, and it's the media. Obama was just their PR guy and now it's Kamala.

That's the thing, I'm honest on who I am and what I think and am consistent as a result, the leftoids can't fucking manage that.
If you aren't actively seeking the good, then you are either actively evil, or at best are being cowardly in enabling evil.
You won't convince the leftist, but you might convince the centrist who observes the argument.

Hope they enjoy the front row seats to the wall that comes next.
All the left cares about is power and controlling everything. If they can't control it, they ban it.
The right needs to do the same.
SPACESHIP MAN BAD.

gay commies gonna gay commie
Anti-authoritarianism is a stance held by deontologists.
Progressives are, to a one, consequentialists. They don't see authoritarianism as bad inof itself.
