It's not really a dirty evil tactic to call things by their nature. Trump has been moving in a disturbingly fascist direction ever since before his inauguration. I know we're pretty far from real fascism, but I'd prefer to point it out and make sure everybody knows it's dangerous to allow steps in that direction because it's the kind of thing that can snowball.
Trump lacks institutional support, the Democrats have it in spades. Trump can't get Fox News to give him the coverage he wants, whereas the rest of the media world actively hates him. Trump suggests election delays and Republicans laugh at him, Democrats discuss the need for private companies to do their part by curbing "fake news".
The Democratic party is in a much better position to pull something like this off. It's a paranoia on par with the red scare.
