Since when did editorializing become the replacement for actually reporting the real news?
That’s what this is, editorializing, not journalism...............

It is clearly labeled an opinion piece.

Exactly on target.

In reading the article you find that the author is playing a funny game of 'Reductio ad Hitlerium' without actually mentioning Hitler:

Their blitzkrieg not only throws us off balance but forces us to take sides. Do I work for Trump or leave the government? Do I issue a statement that my company disapproves of the travel ban? What will my shareholders and stakeholders think? It's no accident that the World War II language of resistance and collaboration has come back into circulation -- these are the situations authoritarians create to divide us, making it easier for them to restrict our freedoms.

You can see them simultaneously casting themselves in the role of the resistance movement.
They must be once again counting for their success on the stupidity-historical ignorance, in this case-of the American people.
