What you list here IS authoritarianism!
We already have a preview from the authoritarian packed unfit SCOTUS of this past summer. No women's rights, no civil rights, no human rights.
We already have a preview from Republican politicians like Rick Scott and Kevin McCarthy: no more social safety net; no more social security; no more medicare or medicaid; tax only the working poor; and make sure those at the top don't have to interact with the rest. Oh, and let the rest die from whatever can kill them quickly to get down to a manageable number in the new servant class.
It may take a couple of years, but believe me it will impact every single woman, child, elder, disabled, poor, working person and family who doesn't have a million in the bank. Seniors will be instantly dumped into poverty without social security, for instance.
Look at the lives in authoritarian countries: controlled at every turn and not prosperous anywhere except the top of the political class. (As in Brazil, if the choice is a somewhat corrupt liberal or a criminally corrupt dictator authoritarian, I take the liberal every time!)
