It’s used to describe a wide selection of people. Someone who is a bigot, beats their family and is a generally a bad person might not be a literal nazi.
But in USA politics it often means gop or trumpers. A very wide group .
Others may define it as any who want to restrict rights.
It’s really hard to tell at times
"Guys you can't call the people who are literally deporting brown people to concentration camps and outlawing trans people Nazis, that's not fair"
Right-wing chuds: "We will kill, torture, and kidnap any and all persons of a marginalized identity. Whether queer, black, Asian, disabled, homeless, Arab, Muslim, or women. We will also literally perform the actual Sieg Heil in public, use every form of white supremacist dogwhistles available, and cheer at the mass murder and genocide of geopolitical adversaries overseas."
You: "Hmmm idk guys, they definitely seem bad but they aren't carrying a copy of Mein Kampf on their person at all times 24/7 and quoting Hitler all day, or wearing a Nazi outfit in broad daylight. Maybe we shouldn't call them Nazis because it's really hard to tell."
It's not that hard to tell.
