Arguing that the GOP more authoritarian, and opposed to a balance of power isn't nearly as good of an argument as you think it is.

I think you need to examine exactly what "unchecked power" actually means.
As for your claim about Republicans/Conservatives not advocating for executive rule or more governmental control, I'd say you are objectively wrong on the first part, and subjectively wrong on the latter. They clearly want more executive rule, because that's what the fucking data demonstrates. As for wanting more government, Trump spent more than any President in history, deficits are skyrocketing, he's raised taxes multiple times, and has objectively restricted guns more than Obama ever did as President.
And it's a lie that they want to leave people alone. Look no further than abortion laws, immigration laws, or even the desire to go after social media companies for banning racists.
You are either lying to everyone else, or worse, you are lying to yourself.
