I assume he meant "authoritarian" but didn't know the word.

What they are doing, and have been doing for a while is normalizing the idea of an authoritarian state. They are casting democracy as a weak system, and they are making it ok to say that they do not like democracy. This is something that has been in the works for a LONG time. It started with the “We are a republic not a democracy” bullshit and that dates back to Reagan that I know of. Defeating Democracy has been a long game and they are making their final push.
