If OP is from the US, it's not surprising. There are many people who seem reasonable on the outside but who have a gut reaction of "FUCK COMMIES" or "KILL ALL THE COMMIES" that bubble up from seemingly nowhere. 10/10 know nothing about communism besides US anti-communist propaganda.
I'm sure you can guess how they react when Fascism is mentioned.
