A defining feature of this era is that language doesn’t matter, starting with "fake news" in the summer of 2016. Riot/protest, fascist, coup - these terms and more have been co-opted and reflected back at the other side. Same words, different meaning in the opposing context.

"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
