You told them or you explained and developed a plan? This is all hypothetical, because immigration also creates jobs, but to somebody threatened with losing their job, it doesn't help that they know that the king is to be blamed.
My assumption is that they believe that a unified society can change the decisions of the king. How do you convince them that the immigrants are on their side?
BTW, it doesn't matter that the king has the majority of surplus. The problem is that he doesn't use it to employ everybody.
The creation of jobs is just the tip of the iceberg; fascists are completely delusional. These aren't smart people who were reasoned into their position. The only way to change their minds is to redirect the social pressure that brought them there.
Not every person of the right is a fascist.
Of course, changing the mind of a non-dillusional person is already hard enough.
The creation of jobs is everything. If your life stops being a competition for survival, people outside your social ingroup stop being existential threats.
Being right-wing has evolved pretty much into straight fascism these days. There is no real middle ground for moderates anymore.
Could you elaborate, please? I have the impression that calling somebody a fascist is used inflationary.
Nonsensical accusations can not be elaborated. When real totalitarianism will arrive nobody will listen to their cries of help because they've been screaming for decades.
