I missed the airing of grievances this year, so here goes.
While I find myself internally nodding in agreement with most of the epithets and hemi-demi-semi-portmanteaus I see describing GOP extremists and Trump-loyalists (e.g. MAGAts, redumblicans, repugnicans, etc.) I can't help but feel that their use by people who disagree with them is stooping.
Degrading the discourse.
It's fun. It 'feels' good, but we promote the idiocracy by joining in.
Is it only me? Feel free to discuss/disagree.

No, I agree. When you treat it as a binary question with name calling and other over-simplification, you push people farther to the extremes.
Lots of Republicans are good people who happen to live in overwhelmingly Republican communities, and they judge the party by the people they personally interact with. By raising up what is good in those local organizations, you help prevent normalizing Trumpism.
