I understand the logic, I just think it’s intellectually dishonest and dilutes the meaning of the word fascist to the point it becomes meaningless.

I dont think it does if they are increasingly fitting the definition. More over there is no definition for fascist; just traits of it. I recommend reading Umberto Eco's "Ur Fascism" for it.

Still in my corner of the world. Libertarians (as they identify and are members of groups with that branding) only care about "government size" when it comes to helping others. Not a peep when discussing ICE or similar.

Im aware that libertarians online will say they are not real libertarians, but that is what all libertarians say about libertarians. Forgive me for not being concerned for what libertarians have to say about themselves.
