The showwriters for The Boys had to get this explicit for right-wingers to get the picture.

At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.
This is the unfortunate truth. We have to address it directly, sarcasm does not do it. They don’t have the self awareness for sarcasm to work.

This. None of them caught the obvious Stormfront name, nor can they see that homelander and his fans are analogous to Trump and his supporters.
In the spinoff Gen V, they even have

A fascist movement of supes that wants to subjugate humanity under the slogan "Make America Super Again"
😄
I'm 100% sure they think Homelander represents out of control leftists.
They think Homelander is the good guy. I'm not fucking kidding
I haven't even seen the show and that "Homelander is not the good-guy" is literally all I know about it!
He blows up a plane in like the first ever episode or something. They make it VERY obvious he is the bad guy from the start. It's impossible not to understand that and yet

A growing number of people are getting really comfortable with the idea of being literal Nazis.
Well, not like it changed from before ww2. Well, maybe it did for the next 2 weeks.
That's not true at all. For roughly 70 years, being fully fascist was very much a fringe thing that you'd be shunned by normal people for. Even the most callous paleoconservatives would categorically shun any Nazi or other openly fascist person.
Then decades of gradual and accelerating rightward drifting of the Overton Window (for which the Democrats' ineptitude as the SUPPOSED opposition party bear a lot of the responsibility) and normalization of outright lying as a political strategy inevitably led to a fascist demagogue like the Mango Mussolini and now fascism is the new mainstream "conservatism".
I think a big part of it is that too much time has passed since the last bunch were dealt with. Most people who remember that are dead now.

Naziism is just an ideology that appeals to some common instincts, which becomes an issue when enough of them are in precarity that they warm up to making the ideas policy.
It doesn't make for a very good state. Incompetence and nepotism rises to the top. Data driven science is tossed aside for ideology-driven rhetoric. Officials govern on vibes resulting in famine, plague and war. Also the country turns into the very kind of shithole it accuses other nations of being.
Eventually, you have bombers from rival countries blocking the the sun over the capitol. International tribunals exercise judgement and enforce their law, since the nazis failed to provide rule of law to their own. Children pick up pieces of the trainwreck.
And we learn (or fail to learn) once again why we don't let the fascist autocrats take over, even when they are very, very rich.
We in the US have a choice: clean up the mess early, or let China clean it up for us. And China will make us jolly sorry if we make them clean it up. We'll be their buggery bitch for a century or two at least.

Unrelated, but this is my brother's favorite quote.
Alas, this doesn't only apply to republicans. You'd be surprised how much everyday people casually believe in eugenics/phrenology/other nazi related pseudo-science.

It’s like racism, to them being called a racist is more offensive than their racist actions. They want to be racist Nazis, but they just don’t want us to call them that
