@Lizardguy64 It's often a fear of the "other" and trying to preserve old traditions and cultures. The individual believes they will be embraced by the group, while the "other" and outsiders will be shut out. A way to feel like you belong and will be a winning insider, above others. A way to practice racism and other cultural line-drawing practices.

From what I've seen and heard, it's the money. Either directly or from the deregulation, layoffs and supressed wages that Fascists specialize in. Aka "investor confidence".
