I'm fairly certain that when the GFY leftists call everyone else a nazi, it's NOT based in fact. While I wouldn't call someone a wetback, the term does have some validity.
And before you lefties call me a racist- I've been called a wetback myself  |
I'm fairly sure that most racist or derogatory terms are based on past facts like the example you just gave. It doesn't change that they are meant to be considered racist and derogatory.

As for leftists calling right wingers Nazis, here is why I think they are doing it: The Nazi party was an extreme right party that showed great disdain for liberal democracy. They also incorporated anti-semitism, scientific racism and eugenics into their creed.
Albeit Trump's administration isn't as openly radical and extremist as the Nazi party, I feel that many people see many frightening similarities between past events and today's administration...hence why people are using the term.
