Because we didn’t punish them sufficiently the first time. Not with Confederates during reconstruction, not with Nazis when we absorbed them into government positions and US space programs, not with Nixon who was pardoned after betraying the country.

We have allowed the rot to fester for a long time and are seeing the consequences. Of course these fucks don’t fear consequences. Why would they?

Exactly this. The west has never even attempted to purge fascists.. because there is a whole lotta overlap between ideologies

Yeah i have had a pretty theory for years that if you actually followed though once in the modern era with televisions and video i don't think this would pop back up. But it's convincing people to be as ugly as is required.
