It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism."

My mom and I used to argue a lot because she would remember things a certain way from her limited pre-internet perspective, while I would deeply research subjects I was interested with internet access and argue from that perspectives. Like, her dismissing that anybody had ever heard of the punk rock I liked and that to her "punk" was what is rightfully called new wave was one we argued on a lot.
The one I most remember though was her thinking I was crazy because I argued that the chances of RFK winning the nomination in 1968 weren't actually good, that even with the California momentum most delegates were not apportioned by primaries at the time and Hubert Humphrey had a massive delegate lead that would have been difficult to overcome. Obviously, these were well researched facts, but to her she'd always heard that RFK was gonna be the nominee that year if he hadn't been killed.
Drove me insane.
