know that the US/UK were/are supporters
The US and UK are populist democracies, as such both had sizeable minority support for Fascism in the years before WWII - I believe it was Churchill who was leaning heavily towards it as a “great form of government to consolidate popular support.” But, those movements ultimately did not gain full control and once war was declared on the Fascists, it had a strong damper effect on support for it in the US/UK.
Nobody is harmless, and no nation is made up of people who agree 100% on all questions. Fascism attempts to manufacture the appearance that lie is true, which is one of it’s many drawbacks: allergies to reality.
In a democracy, the people get the government that they deserve, at least the near-majority of them do.
