What's more important, winning the fight over what label to put on those assholes or actually fighting what they do? It's the same as people arguing about whether the Gaza situation is technically a genocide or not. Endless debate on the technicalities while nothing changes. Calling Trump and by extension all his followers "Nazis" just reinforces their belief that the "left" is their unrelenting enemy.
Why in your view is it mutually exclusive? To address any problem one first has to identify that there is in fact a problem. Calling it out where it exists IS that identification. It isn't about "labels" it's about identifying what needs to be dealt with and make no mistake there are a lot of people who don't want to acknowledge the problem and if anything what you're doing is exactly the shit the fascists do by forcing the side wanting to fight fascism to moderate its language on the belief that if we use that language against the fascists the fascists will dig into their fascism... as if they aren't doing that anyway.
In fact letting the right-wing control the narrative no matter what happens is in large part why we are where we are and why this shit needs to be called out, identified, labelled and opposed at every point with whatever means are necessary.
