So I'd say no, because in 2018, anyone is labeled "Nazi" now for simply not going along with the popular, or PC, mindset. Hear them out before you label them, rather than punching them.

I have some rubrics I use.
Do they have a problem with football players kneeling during the anthem? Well, I disagree, but they're not Nazis because of that.
Do they think that transgender people shouldn't be allowed to use the public bathroom that matches their gender? Well, that's not "PC" and I think it's bigoted, but it doesn't make them Nazis either.
Do they think that Jews are funding Central American migrant caravans in order to transform America? Yeah, sorry, but that sounds quite Nazi-ish, what with it being an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that has already inspired one mass murder of Jews.
As it turns out, theories like that are supported by prominent national Republicans. I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable to acknowledge that.
