It wouldn’t even make sense to say “reclaim” because it’s not like the meaning of “Nazi” ever changed. It means what it’s always meant and will likely always meant; it’s just that what it means is fucking abhorrent so people don’t tend to want to be described by it.
Seems like the hope is to dilute it down, so that it doesn’t have the same impact. Which may or may not work with the base, but I’m reasonably confident a majority of people will never not see Nazism as a super bad thing.

more than not its trying to normalize the word “nazi” so it doesnt mean anything.
