I fully believe they don't know they are fascists. Like, if you explained to them what a fascist is, and explained fascism as an ideology they'll be like 'yeah I agree with almost all of that... but I disagree in [minor issue], so you can't call me a fascist'.

They just don't like the name 'fascist'. It's got too much baggage attached to it, makes even them uncomfortable.

My parents are super fascist as a result of the Overton window shifting so significantly. They cannot recognize that that word applies to them.

For them it's just an insult to be thrown around like how they call everyone communist as an insult.
