We see what modern republican party does - literally last two years.
Republicans are the ones that insist on protecting police no matter how much they trample on people's rights.
- 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.
Like the Jan 6 pardons and Trump's immunity?

"A federal court today ruled that the Trump-Vance administration unlawfully compelled civil servants at the U.S. Department of Education to transmit partisan political messaging from their government email accounts during the ongoing federal shutdown — violating core First Amendment protections."

As is their First Amendment right. Do you oppose that civil right?
> Totally opposing widespread, bipartisan support for voter ID
Why not? When put to the people for a vote, it fails. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6178993-california-pro...
The question was actually, and I quote:
"In what way is the Democratic party more authoritarian?"
So I'm left wondering why these authoritarian acts don't count in a comparison between the two.
... while republican party and administration openly supported it.
