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.
“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.
