If America is to become an autocracy over the next couple decades, it will be from Democrats, not Republicans. This is not because Democrats are more inclined to make America autocratic- the opposite is true- but because they have the support required to make America autocratic (or at least, more support than Republicans do).

This is maybe your worst post. The logic is lacking in a major way.

Autocratization happens easiest when a majority of people support the people doing the autocratization. It’s really, really hard for a minority of people in a democracy to install a dictatorship with them at the top, as a simple understanding of history would tell you.

The Democratic Party has shown no interest in attacking democracy. They certainly like corruption, the status wuo, crushing progressives and anti-corruption candidates, and ensuring that the establishment stays in power over outsiders (within their own party). They usually vocally fight back against Republican attacks on democracy. They may be in a good position to do it, but that doesn't mean anything if they have zero intentions of pursuing it.
