Like they weren’t authoritarian prior.
Became? They become authoritarian immediately after they are given any authority. Before that, they were all in for the little guy.
The Left became authoritarian in about ... 2020?
I thought it was 1789. Or 1917. Or 1949. Or 1958. Or something.

They have not lost their minds and they did not “become” authoritarians.
They were authoritarian before covid which they used to implement their evil 🤪
I’m 71 and was a college kid in the late 60’s and early 70’s. At that time, the hippie and peace/love movement was all about “if it feels good, do it!”, “do your own thing”, “distrust the establishment”, communes and so on.
Today, those same people and many of their kids ARE the establishment and do not want you doing your own thing. In fact, those of communal sharing era are the most selfish bunch I’ve ever seen. My way or now way!!!!!
Boy, how times ahve changed!
They have always been Authoritarians.
See Comunism, Socialism, and Facisim.
It didn’t start with COVID. It started with calling all speech that the left doesn’t like “racist”, “homophobic”, or “transphobic”. Then it progressed to equating any speech that they slapped one of those labels on with “violence”. All of that was simply a cynical ploy to allow captured social media platforms to censor right wing political speech without losing their special status under Section 230, by appealing to the exceptions for “violations of community standards” and “incitement”.
Only once all of that was firmly in place with automated systems to implement it, could the type of broad spectrum censorship of the COVID era be deployed. They just needed to add a few more keywords to the algorithm now whenever they wanted to censor something else.
Became ,,,, strange way to spell “always were”.
they knew exactly what they were doing
They always WERE authoritarians. It was just this 99.5% survivable “pandemic” that brought it out.
The Left was ALWAYS authoritarian.
COVID enabled them to implement their agenda.
