There's a multitude of reasons to stop referring to reactionary politicians and their supporters as "crazy."
Let's even go beyond the ablest thing, although that's certainly relevant.
It's also a bit of a dodge for ourselves—that if these huge masses of people weren't somehow broken or jagged (original meaning of "crazy") they'd stop.
These are social phenomena, not some individual flaws. We need to understand that people are intentionally associating themselves with reactionary movements.
I'm as guilty of this as anyone. It's cathartic to refer to "the real crazies on the right wing" or to dismiss some piece of horrifying news as "crazy."
But it's a dodge and it stunts our ability to be analytical and critical if overindulged.
Many of these people do not lack for education, mental health, or the ability to choose other movements to associate with. If your model of behavior can't accommodate that, your model of behavior is flawed. (Or hell, in the original meaning, "crazy.")
