What a flagrant abuse of power. It looks like their power should be reigned in.
The acts are fascism. The public would pay more attention if we refer to them as such.
* edits: wording. I have hard time being dispassionate about this.

"They're not on the road to fascism, but they're not very far from that road."
Which fits the situation.
Your genocide reference, an attempt to trivialize the above statement, doesn't even make sense.
Overusing these labels dilutes their 'brand', and then you don't have appropriate adjectives for real cases of fascism or genocide.
(Not to mention those sort of comments are nothing but unproductive comment sniping. They do absolutely nothing to further the conversation.)
Even though those are relatively exotic forms, compared to the one that exists in the middle of the political spectrum.
I really don't know anything beyond genocide I could muster (we don't have a word for holocaust of entire humanity, do we?)
