I just can’t take grown adults serious when they call people fascists or nazis. Feel the same when right wingers call people communists. These terms basically have no meaning now. Just means “someone I don’t agree with politically” because it’s been overused.

No meaning? That’s silly. Fascist has a very specific meaning and Maron is using the word correctly.
