It's probably just that ~a third of humans are vulnerable to the fascist con. Most everyone is vulnerable to one grift or another, though this is probably the most dangerous one of all.
That's a fact that probably won't ever change. We desperately need social infrastructure to counter that threat. Campaigns, laws, cultural norms, social institutions that kind of thing. I don't pretend to know what exactly that would look like, but the need seems clear.
I would imagine that the 1/3 that like fascism are also on the bottom of the IQ metric. Dumb people take comfort in authority, I think it's really that simple.
