I mean, to be fair to them, Gleichshaltung is a good word for what's happening. I'm not opposed to discussing the analogues between current events in the US and Hitler's consolidation of power in Germany. But I find the insistence on "proper" terminology tiresome. I don't think it's the other commenter's fault in this case, so maybe I shouldn't be so snippy, but it's a really common tactic among bad-faith actors to "well, actually..." a discussion into a debate about semantics rather than a debate about the actual matters of real import. It's a learned defensive behavior on my part, but not right in this situation. What matters is that we see what is happening and can describe it in a way that we all understand, not that we use specific technical terminology.
