The Patriot Act was named to imply that its supporters are patriotic and its detractors are not.

The name "Antifa" has similar implications, while similarly missing the mark.

Okay, but do any of the people you're describing as Nazis (Trump, MAGA voters, people who don't lean left, etc.) subscribe to the tenets of national socialism? Given that you say they're "literally" Nazis, you would think that they would.

Patriot Front was literally marching through Orange County like a week ago.

Yes I do. I recently joined a Discord to observe some of this (long story, didn't know what I was getting into) and that was a tenet of what was discussed. If you want specifics you'll have to email me because I'm not comfortable putting more details here.
