They need the enemy to be both everywhere and all powerful but also snivelling and weak at the same time.

Let's be honest here, MOST people do this about their political rivals. We do it all the time here, American fascists are all lard ass cucked dorks, but also the most terrifying force in human history.

I feel like that's a bit different though, because american fascists are usually insufferable losers as people, and that's not incompatible with them being dangerous and pushing harmful ideology

Not exactly the same as what fascists do, which often materialises as claiming their enemies to be completely weak and ineffectual, lesser humans, but somehow able to control the world from the shadows, or similar
