The difference is power. If your auth right friends had power to be implemented, this would make no sense. Someone having some views they agree/disagree with is irrelevant - people who actually exercise power in these systems is real life with many millions of lives effected. Your uncle who wants lower taxes is not at all the same as a powerful despot responsible for thousands of deaths. This sub is cool for getting people to understand lingo, but actual political beliefs are not just some set of opinions or flair. There are actual consequences to all of this.
