Overt fascism tends to scare people away. Theyre all well aware of its image problem as they dogwhistle for far right authoritarian ultranationalism. Typically they do remain a disorganized mess (as could be expected for an ideology popular mainly with opportunists and losers) but every so often some rich person feels threatened or ambitious and throws money at them and organizes them into a militia or something. Thats when they transition from an unpleasant crowd to a genuinely terrifying threat. Neoliberals are likewise loath to actually call themselves neoliberals while they argue for privatising a publicly owned utility.
