Inseparable from this posturing fascism as normal is the labeling of specific groups as minority, weird, and external groups that change society for the worse.
If the "Judeo-Bolsheviks" or "Post-modern neo-Marxists" are not weird agitators from the outside, but in fact represent the status quo, that is the direct inversion of fascist rhetoric. Simply calling the fascists bad does not hurt their feelings if they perceive the insult to be a critique against the majority from a minority group with outsized influence.
They believe that the majority secretly agrees with them but are too afraid to say it. Weird alleges that people don't.
Or to put it in other terms, they feel like they're the old Norm, they want normal beer.
