I've had a few family members who previously identified as politically unaffiliated start identifying themselves as fascists after I explained to them what fascism entails
They think I'm a liberal and that they can egg me into apologizing for my political stances or making a compromise with their more bigoted beliefs. They just want to feel like they've owned me and I guess liberals they interact with are more easily pushed into a corner.
If reading Hitler makes you a Nazi, you were already a Nazi.

The words allowed them to describe their existing beliefs
Yeah, they've tried a few times to blame me for making them into fascists, but I've realized how nonsense that is.
Hwut? That’s crazy
