I can't imagine a time that this would have been true in my life.

Dems are pro-regulation, but I don't see that as authoritarian. Republicans want capitalism to determine who has power, rather than democracy.

They both want to socialize corporate losses for billionaires, but Democrats are at least nominally comfortable making them pay taxes.
