No one said that, and it's a very extreme interpretation of the comment you're replying to
> you have started down the path of authoritarianism
That's an example of the fallacy of infinite progression - that a societal trend will continue forever once started
In a complex system like a society, it's perfectly possible for a trend for e.g. regulation of the personal sphere to give rise to countervailing forces that end up in a steady state
There are plenty of societies e.g. the Nordic states, that have much higher regulation than the USA, yet have remained stable for decades and show no sign of descending into authoritarianism
