You cannot really think this is a battle of freedom vs. autocracy. It's an argument about who you'd prefer in control. Hillary is preferable to many here for a number of reasons which are totally understandable. Trump is preferable to others for equally understandable reasons. But let's not get ahead of ourselves and surmise we'd be any less controlled - any more or less "democratic" - under either of these two. She'd just be a lot more subtle about it.
