The President of the United States called to congratulate the newly elected fascist leader of Brazil.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1056885392522260480 …
That's how the headline should read. Journalists feel they have to use euphemisms. But it's important for the rest of us to be clear about what's really happening.
