It's not been a "hard right" issue in this case, it's the progressive lefts continual misuse of these words, that has caused this.
As an example, calling out someones choice of vote in the referendum = "racist cunt"It's a bit like the tick a box meme, "feminist" or "misogynist", no box marked "other"

Sadly, this is probably true. The boundaries of what it is acceptable to say have been moved so far to the right that some people on the hard right don't mind you calling them a racist/fascist - they may even embrace it. Meanwhile less-extreme xenophobia is has been 'normalised'. Overt racists on Twitter are gloating about having shifted the Overton Window.
