To be fair

Who are you being fair to?

Not to any particular person, just fair to the truth of the situation. You know, not whacking at straw men.

The truth of the situation is that fascists have no consistency of morality or logic. You don’t need to help them.

You also don't need to lie about their beliefs. When you do that, it just makes people wonder why you're lying and why you can't stick to the truth if your point is so strong.

They have no beliefs. That’s the core characteristic of fascism. Their beliefs change after a millisecond if the strongman says so.

They have beliefs, and if you don't understand that you can't understand them. If you don't understand them you can't beat them. Sticking your head in the sand or lying to yourself isn't going to help.
