The nazis - which we can now officially call nazis, by the way, it can no longer be seen as hyperbole - do not even use words according to their meaning, and they won’t be particularly interested in your view of that matter.
I will read your full comment later. Just note that there is no attestation that they are nazis. So you don’t use the words according to their meaning.
No, the word has not lost its meaning, but it has become less niche: some of them are better at hiding it and waiting for the right time, some of them want to make people forget what it represents and a lot of people are too lazy/stupid to distinguish between nazi/fascist/autocrat/authoritarian/ultraneoliberal or anyone who aspires to become one of those.
Right, if you wish to steer the conversation into ad hominem then I think it is best to end it here. I wish you and your loved ones peace and prosperity for the future.
Let me try a final approach.
For me, the conversation is ad hominem from the start. I don’t disagree with your judgement of the AfD. My point is that you don’t reason with the AfD but with people who are on the fence of deciding between AfD and other parties. You should’t write your comments for fascists to read but for regular citizens. Being correct is to appeal to them.

Thanks and I wish you the same in return.
