The definition of "authoritarian ideas" has recently inflated to meaninglessness. Depending on who you talk to, authoritarian includes basically anything that isn't total anarchy. Whenever the government puts any constraint at all on what you can do or can't do, there's someone who disagrees and will (now) call it authoritarian overreach. The word is so overused now, it's getting hard to take it seriously. That and "tyranny". Whenever the government does anything you don't like anymore, it's tyranny. These words which used to describe significant problems have been watered down and are now being used to describe mask mandates and high taxes.
