If my take on the current GOP and Trump is right, then it is right whether I ever "have a problem" with Dems or not. It does not become more accurate if, under water torture, I agree that Maxine Waters should not have said that one thing she did one time.

I certainly CAN have a problem with them if they use their power to go outside the law, as happened in Watergate, Iran-Contra, the Iraq War, and the Green Bay Sweep. But I am not going to have a problem with them BEFORE they do that, as you seem to.

They have had the same chances as the GOP in this respect. But so far have not followed them outside rule of law. 

Some on the left-without-quotation-marks have indeed admired Mao, Fidel, Hugo, and Che, for good reason. (I don't know who "Vlad" is. Putin??)

But "the left" certainly has not. Even if they did, that alone would not make them authoritarian or practitioners of authoritarianism. 
A miniscule portion of the U.S. population admiring Mao for throwing off the imperialist yoke =/= the Capitol Insurrection.

As for the astounding claims that "the left" loved "every second" of some "orgasm of control" required by mass distribution of life-saving vaccine and temporary mask mandates, and that "saving lives was secondary"--I hardly know how to respond. It doesn't seem based on evidence, but rather on what you have always already "known" about Democrats, and will always see behind all their policies. Never fooled for a second as to what their "real" aims are. How is this different from "knowing" that Ike was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party?
