A bit like how anybody further right of Biden is often branded a Nazi by the left, regardless of whether their policies actually resemble Fascism.

Politics has turned heavily toxic and partisan.

Moderates are still a large demographic in the US but completely unrepresented in the media and in government.

Edit: so yeah I agree. I'm personally not likely to label a moderate a Nazi, but I'll stay vigilant about it.
