I’ll concede the first 2 points, but I’ll argue the 3rd.
Calling modern politicians Nazis is intellectually lazy and counterproductive to achieving anything.
Ok, what moniker would you use for fascists that want to deport/kill minorities and put them into camps? Authoritarians who pander to the common people and tell them about all the socialist policies they plan to enact during the election, then immediately give up the lie and say they are just going to do authoritarian things and start rounding up minorities and persecuting sexual minorities? Fascist works, but it doesn’t really fully encompass what they’re about.
If only there was a shorthand moniker for authoritarians who run on nationalism and socialism together… Like, some kind of National Socialism. Though, these ones are also “Christians”, so they can be the National Christians. We could abbreviate it Nat-C too.
But don’t actually call them Nazis, you’ll have very normal people responding to you that they can’t be Nazis because they’re not actively running gas chambers or invading Poland or some nonsense.
I weep for the historical literacy of this country. So many will argue about what to call these shitheads while they slowly work their way through the ‘undesirables’ until they get to people they care about. It’s like that old poem:
“At first they came for the Latinos and gays, but I didn’t say anything because we have to tone police monikers until we’re at the hight of the barbarity.”
Or something, idk.
