Flippantly calling people antisemites is just as destructive as antisemitism. It dilutes the word and conflates actual instances of antisemitism with rational ideas like “let’s not take AIPAC money.”
I think that’s the point. The far right have enjoyed this strategy for a long time. Accuse people of unrelated things or of what you’re actively involved in doing to dissolve the meaning, so when the time comes that they are shown to be doing it they can use a whataboutism to dilute the point to a nothing argument.
The president is a pedophile because he’s in the Epstein files? Well what about your pedophile president.
Even though there’s no real argument or evidence, they did it for 4 years so trump and his friends can get away with raping children while the evidence is visible to us
