It's because Americans have been trained to think fascism is spectacular (a myth pushed by fascists themselves) so the mundane nature of everyday fascism doesn't really affect them.

A lot of time and energy was spent trying to paint fascism as an inherently foreign entity that comes into their midst. They will quote that whole "holding a Bible and wearing the flag" line and still imagine it as some kind of disguise it wears and not the form it takes when it sprouts from within.
