I would say "authoritarian conservatism", and honestly a lot of it is flirting heavily with fascism. But apart from using slightly different words, this part I very much agree with.

This part I don't agree with. There is no "authoritarian" left. There are people among the "liberals" who aren't really liberals and have some really regressive ideas, but they are not authoritarians in the same sense that the conservatives are.
In other words: the horseshoe theory is BS.
