There is deep truth to what you say, and you see it in the current where the petit-bourgeoisie kind of embraces these things as camp first, aren’t able to properly joke about them since they are products of extreme cozy liberalism themselves and still fear authoritarianism first and foremost (instead of attempting to understand why it happens and what its appeal is), and then end up beholden to these ideas. In turn they become constant advertisement for these ideas, and in the current digital pathways, this is picked up by those who create advertisement and shape perception, and then sold back to the working class as correct. It is interesting how quickly, all throughout history (just check the last US election), that we tend to blame “workers” for authoritarian surges, when traditionally the actual working class is muzzled and doesn’t really have access to the tools which shape perception on a mass scale.
