I hear a lot about this administration's authoritarianism.
What do people mean by that?
And do they remember the literal lockdowns and pharmaceutical mandates we endured during the previous regime?

It is possible to decry both.
Decry both what?
Both alleged infractions. I don't actually follow Trump's doings closely, but whatever the claim is as to whether he is acting like a dictator should be treated on its own merits.
This isn't to give the previous administration a pass, their actions also need to be held to some absolute standard. If we use flawed administrations as our reference point we will never see the delta between where we are and the absolute good.
Yeah, makes sense.
I'm just not sure how Trump is guilty of "authoritarianism," and if he is, where were these political watch dogs during the Biden years?
I just don't think these protestors have the defense of the U.S. Constitution as their primary focus.
But, they didn't. There was no No Kings movement under the Biden admin.
These are the same people that supported the lockdowns and wanted to remove people from society if they didn't comply with the mandates. Some even wanted them dead. They also either didn't care or thought it was great that the Trucker protesters and their supporters got their bank accounts frozen.
It's billionaire funding of marxists and other useful idiots to sew chaos.

Probably not. I have no idea what they are actually protesting. I am only vaguely aware of what is going on in the world since I currently have no trusted source of information, but in general I'd much rather deal with specific claims than nebulous accusations or arguments about integrity or intent.
