Here's an example from me

If you want to de-normalize a nation's state/government, call them

spoiler

a regime

Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin

Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize dysphemism are insults?

    decrying experienced political institutions as corrupt while claiming to be a reformer.

    Someone can just see a theoretical event happening like that and just write and TITLE the news as:

    Man leads a pro-democracy movement against corrupt one-party-rule and its institutions...

    That being said, scapegoating an outgroup is indeed a demagoguery...

    Do you take me for bad-faith arguer?
