I mean, the game ruthlessly mocks them in satirical fashion, but fascists have always had poor media literacy so they could still like it similarly to how conservatives thought the Colbert Report was serious.
Put satire side by side with an ironically racist channer, the two differ only in writing quality
I’m still disappointed that Stephen Colbert took the DNC’s money and switched parties he was a genius at conservative commentary.
I know, but there are semi-rational arguments the game could have made (market protectionism, cultural heritage, pros of homogenous soceities, etc.) for the fascists and it simply doesn't
To pretend that all hard right-wingers are just idiots foaming at the mouth, instead of desperate poor people watching their livelihoods and (perhaps warped) values undermined by foreign labour, is really disingenous.
(I should pause here and say I am hard-left, I'm just playing advocate)
It does show that, and then it shows what they're really like.
