I guess you hit it.
So on a more theoretical note: There are contexts in which the word lost it's meaning. Some leftist groups are quite trigger happy with words usually reserved for the extreme right. I also heard in Russia, 'Nazi' has a different meaning than in the west, literally more "bad/evil", a more general 'enemy of Russia'.
However;
I’d argue it’s regained its original meaning recently. 15-20 years ago we used to call people Grammar Nazis for correcting our spelling online. Now the people getting called Nazis have actual literal Third Reich style fascist beliefs. It’s more accurate now than in decades.
Grammar Nazi was never an issue, completely distinct meaning. And it's so over the top that you can't really argue trivialisation, either.
