I think liberals who are so morally retxrded they think Trumpish GOP is more authoritarian, or indeed worse in any important way, than Bush's GOP, is the truly disturbing issue here and one that has caused me to reassess many thingshttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1390853147963183107 …

He's probably referring to, for example, the rejection of democracy evidenced by the election fraud hoax and subsequent events. You'll see similar post-left figures like Tinkzorg openly championing that aspect. Bush was obviously worse in a utilitarian sense though.
Even if I had your confidence in US election results, I don't know if I would describe the reaction to 2020 as "authoritarian." State legislatures have been relatively sheepish in their response and the national party has pretended not to notice.

The fact that it was even on the table was Jeet's "authoritarian turn". If it doesn't count until they actually overturn a democratic election, then it won't count until it's too late.

You mean like in 2000?
