Thinking about the many, many conservatives who thought Starship Troopers was a good, fun romp about killing evil aliens, think we're supposed to agree with the racist rants in the Sopranos, consider Gordon Gekko a role model, etc.

The same reason neo nazis loved Inglorious Bastards(even though it wasnt a satire) despite being a film about killing nazis. Theyre portrayed as powerful, terrorfying and honorable, while the Jewish-American nazi hunters showed no self control when beating a nazi with bat.
Ive also met people who identified with the spaniard officer in Pan's Labryinth for the same reason.
Leftwingers see satire while right wingers see a power fantasy.
Even if fascists are presented as bad guys, that won't make fascists denounce it, because they view themselves as the guys who do what has to be done, even if it isn't very nice.
See: how many fascists Warhammer 40k fans there are, in spite of GW insisting "but the Imperium are the bad guys!"
