I stopped trying to make sense of fascist’s activities based on policy, morality, or even consistency, and now see them as doing or saying whatever is most advantageous at the time, even if it directly contradicts their previous assertions. Now their actions almost always make sense and are very predictable.

You can’t reason with people like this, only maneuver them into a position where what you want is also most beneficial (or least detrimental) for them.
