People gotta remember that fascism is popular, desired, and feels like freedom to its cheerleaders

Any political ideology sounds good to those who will be in charge, doesn’t matter if it’s left or right.

@meJess That's not my point.
People vaguely think of fascism as a Bad Thing that takes away their rights and its a scary thing they don't want.
My argument is that fascism may give you more rights, or at least feel like it. It takes away someone else's rights. That someone else may be someone you don't like and want gone. And because of that, it will feel like a good thing you want. It doesn't make it any less fascist.
