So I'd say that applying the term to U.S. states is a considerable exaggeration, and also has the potential to offend many who live in them.

Yeah, "authoritarian" is a pretty harsh, unpleasant term that no doubt would offend.
Yet, sometimes, when using language to present your ideas and argue against others ideology, offensive words do make a point.
But, it is better to not provoke and simply accept the resentment of your own beliefs?
