Apparently you missed the first paragraph in which the parallel to authoritarian behavior is drawn.

“ An election is stolen and as a result of the theft we now have a president who is loopy, and is operating unconstrained. Doing, by any measure, insane things, starting with a wild spending spree, thousands, soon to be tens of thousands, of children in cages on the border (which you conveniently fail to mention), along with uncontrolled entry to the country as an end game.”


I can't find any authoritarianism in there.


Surely, it is not lost on you that authoritarian government doesn’t have a strictly imposed structure.


Un, no. A strictly imposed structure is the central feature of authoritarianism. You have a boss levels of underlings where everyone falls in line. Conceptually, authoritarianism requires a structure, otherwise how would anyone know whom to obey.
