It starts with marking an enemy and drawing a dividing line between "them" and "us". Fascism is largely supported by people who have felt that their rank or status has is in decline. It must feel great to be told how superior they truly are, and how they aren't at fault for their troubles. "They" are the source of their problems and the time to take action is now. It will feel good to reclaim your rightful position.
But fascism is wildly irrational and unstable. That hate is the sustinance that fuels fascism and so there is never an end to it, the hierarchy just narrows and fascists turn on each other. This is the "then they came for me moment" and what I believe the last refrain of this song referrs to: marching the hate machines into the sun.
