"Threat to democracy", "Nazi", "dictator" are all loaded terms that we've taken to symbolically mean "extremely bad". So its up to the person using the word to explain it. Then they're stuck trying to equate your mom saying transphobic things as being a Nazi when everybody says transphobic things.
"Weird" is much lower bar to get over.
Why are grown men, married with children of their own obsessing over the genitals of literal children? That sounds really fucking weird, normal people will have a hard time explaining how that ISN'T weird. It puts the conservatives in the position of having to explain how they aren't weird for obsessing over kids genitals instead of everybody being assumed to agree with them by default.
