Plenty right wing police states have existed across the world - Authoritarian control is one of the signature elements of Extremism “control of the populus and masses “ far from a uniquely left wing practice.
In fact with Armastice day just a week away suggest you do a bit of reading up on the most brutal police state ever within Europe.
Still if your flying somewhere it’s your choice to arrive early and camp out I suppose.
Done it myself when I was a teenager at Gatwick but not these days; far to old and with those many room only hotel chains these days think a nice sleep in the general vicinity of an airport and short taxi ride hardly out of the question to be honest.
Alternative stump up a little cash for a lounge.( not much cheaper than the room only hotel chains so not my choice however it’s an option )
