My issue is calling him this is not helpful at all. It's just emotional manipulation. Just as the use of Christian nationalist is in regards to conservative evangelical Christians. Just as the anti-Semite label is.
We are constantly being manipulated emotionally and the few that actually seem to be well informed on history but still use these methods are just vile.
The result is you get people just accepting the label or worse yet just leaning into it more. Slowly I've become numb to it. Especially in the fake online world. In person I ask people to define these terms. That usually kills it.
