Because those words have been overused to the point of no one caring anymore. For those too young to remember, George W. Bush was _also_ called “literally Hitler”, a fascist, dumbest man alive, you name it. The left’s go-to of labeling every single Republican “Nazi” for decades is partially to blame here.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 1y agoThis is moot to the boy-who-cried-wolf point; the thoughtfulness of criticism towards Republicans doesn't matter right now because criticism towards them in the past has been sufficiently thoughtless. There is a lesson to be learned there.
