They don't care. They're happy with their little fiefdoms, even if all they rule over is mud.
My homeland, Portugal, was until 50 years ago governed by the Fascists.
There were maybe 9 extremelly wealthy families all the while the country was crushingly poor with most of the population below the poverty line (we're talking children walking to school barefoot in the middle of Winters as my mother did levels of poverty).
The country required a Revolution to overthrow Fascism.
Personally all of it tells me all I need to know about just how much the hard right (which nowadays in many places includes a lot of the old "center"-right mainstream parties) and beyond cares about the fate of the rest of their country.
