My GF truly believes that Republicans are the authoritarian choice this election. Her cited example was confirming ACB. Beyond that not anything concrete. Could you all help me compile a list or direct me to examples of Democrats authoritarianism. Me just giving examples isn't enough. I used attacks on constitution, "hate speech", taxes, but I feel coming from me she just doesn't believe it. Thank you. She grew up in Germany (army brat) which can give you some insight as to why she may feel that way.

It's tough because if Cuomo's treatment of the Jews in New York doesn't convince her, or Whitmer & her lockdown policies, or the CHOP/CHAZ in Seattle where they literally took over a portion of Seattle...
Like... I don't know what else you could do at that point to convince her. Republicans weren't the ones hunting down white people in Philadelphia last night, so there's that too. If you can find an archived link of the Black Lives Matter page where it explicitly stated their goal was to destroy western ideals & the nuclear family, then that should do it too.
Maybe have a talk over what she defines as authoritarian? Because there was nothing authoritarian about the ACB nomination. Best I'd negotiate with you on that is that it was dirty politics, at most - but not authoritarian. Everything done there was legal & by the book. Authoritarians don't hold nice orderly hearings where your opponents get to have their fair say. That ain't how it works.
They hold kangaroo courts where the outcome is known already. I mentioned that the left had their own brownshirts (antifa, blm).
