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.

Tell her that there wasn't much Trump could do outside of limiting travel from other countries. State governments have the power to institute their own rules, such as NY not allowing 95% of the country into NYC.
Governors in 5 different blue states forced private nursing homes to admit covid patients into their facilities, when hospitals weren't overwhelmed, and that's where the majority of deaths came from.
Lockdowns are unconstitutional. Trump wants to open the country back up completely, much like Sweden who now has the pandemic entirely under control.
Thank you
