Answer 2

Answer:

Ideology: Claiming to be the only group capable of doing right

This is telling them, we're the ideal solution, hence enforcing an ideal.

Fear: Keeping citizens in line through fear and violence.

This one is pretty obvious, having 'fear' in both parts.

Totalitarianism: Maintaining absolute control over the lives of the people.

Maintaining TOTAL control... so again, same language on both sides.

Divine Right: Claiming a God-given right to rule.

Is claiming to have a Divine mission or right that has been passed down directly from God... who are you to oppose that?
