If you want to discuss, I am pretty certain that the point being made was:

The right-wing push to add Allied leaders to the list of “villains” is to make the perception of the leadership of Nazi Germany relatively less “bad” and more palatable. Further, the wording and historical revisionism of labeling Churchill (who was a dickhead, TBF) as “the Real Villain” is to go beyond that and make the Nazis, who were literally bent on world domination and genocide of all groups deemed “undsireable” by their leadership into the “Heros” of WWII.

This is a part of attempts to obliterate any cultural values that are not “nazis/fascists are/were the good guys and democracy is dated”. Such efforts are heavily financed by openly fascist billionaires, like Peter Thiel, as well as the current President of the US who has been known to both be a pedophile and keep a book of Hitler’s speeches on his bedside stand.

Such views are also much easier to adopt when thinking in moral absolutist terms.
