  “people voting for something I don’t like” is an especially idiotic way to define it.

  You’re right, that would be idiotic. Good thing I didn’t define authoritarian that way, and no, it is not a meaningless word, you can (in fact) look it up in a dictionary which describes the meaning fairly well.

    The linked definition doesn’t match with you calling the vote/outcome authoritarian.

    Authoritarian/authoritarianisn is so widely defined that literally every country, organisation and movement fits it by necessity in class society

    Authoritarian is a pejorative used by idiots to avoid grappling with the reality of one class necessarily suppressing another in class society.

    You didn’t define authoritarianism or specifically say how it is so in this case, leaving us to guess and you to say we guessed wrong.
