As a European I think it is retarded, and is unhealthy. If Trump is a "Nazi" then by that logic the real Nazis were probably not as bad as everyone says.
I have a close Austrian friend whose grandfather was in the SS. She is obviously still ashamed of it, and vehemently anti facist. But she cant stand it when publications like Vice "News" call everything they don't like "Nazi". But I feel that is a typical American response to things as well and there isn't much we can do to change them.
I agree the word has had its meaning diminished because of idiots, but I think its equally as bad to deny its use when it is applicable just because the people doing it are not on your "team".
