I repeat this a lot, but not everyone is aware just how stupid facists are. Anti-intellectualism, by it's own nature, demands the purging of critical thought, no matter how small it is.
There is only one thing that matters to the modern Nazi - "does this give me power now." It attracts a lot of stupid people. Nazi Germany leaders that were ever so slightly "not" in the "good group" Were largely killed, either in the night of the long knives or at some point prior to 1945. If you stood in the way of someone more powerful, even if perceived, you were removed.
This attracts a lot of people, who somehow think "oh that will be me on top some day."
