In what way is the Democratic party more authoritarian?

Republicans are the ones that insist on protecting police no matter how much they trample on people's rights.

- Deciding not to prosecute crimes they agree with / which are commonly committed by their base. There are two ways to use the police against the people, you know.

- Speech controls (they wanted compelled speech, which is a line the Americans have so far managed not to cross - Biden managed to get it in to Title IX)

- Rabid, senseless, confusing opposition to gun rights, a civil right in the U.S. Gun ownership does not result in more or worse crime, it's very clear.

- Totally opposing widespread, bipartisan support for voter ID

Let me be clear, I'm no fan of either side.
