Maybe using soft language like subbing "autocracy" in for "Nazis," will help?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Or using "deport" with USA citizens getting sent to death camps with no due process. Or anyone not sent back to their home country. Still sane washing. It's not just the Murdoch rags.
US media needs to start saying fascism when it sees fascism.
The American public has been so propogandized into thinking the US is inherently antifascist (as a holdover from WW2) that even their educated can't recognize it happening in front of them.
Oh lookie here at all this ultranationalism, militarism, authoritarianism, language around purity / sanctity of our nation and scapegoating of minorities / immigrants. I wonder what we should call this absolutely unprecedented stew of bullshit that's meant to put people through a meatgrinder that concentrates power and enriches the elite?
They recognize it. They just want to protect themselves while others take risks.
Much like .. Everyone else.
Almost like they want to....be on the sidelines.
To be fair it's not exclusive to the Nazis, you don't defeat autocrats with your hands in your pockets
To be fair, we have a nazi problem.
That's definitely true as well
The irony of that being hosted on NYT is palpable.
Legacy media has also never defeated fascism.
Guess who’s not on the sidelines, NYT.
G’head. Guess.
fuck NYT
