So this seems to be the current strategy, as soon as someone opposes the actions of the Trump (and by extension the Republican party which has by now almost completely purged of dissent) everyone argues they are partisan (the whole if you are not supporting us you must be against us). This by the way is a very common strategy of authoritarian regimes.

Regarding spending cuts being antithetical to authoritarian regimes, note that the cuts don't affect the military or law enforcement (except for people who were involved in prosecuting Trump) that's very much in line with many authoritarian regimes.
