Right, so in this hypothetical, an average socialist ballot for a district in Naziville would end up casting its vote for the Dem equivalent whereas the Nazis would risk even less voting for the open Nazi first and might elect them, rather than the Republicsn

Not sure I follow that. Do the Nazis in this hypothetical outnumber the "Republicans" and do the "Republicans" prefer the Nazis to the "Dem"?

Meanwhile there's the opposite effect for non-fringe groups - Republicans have an edge because they are less concentrated in general, so places where they have majorities have narrower majorities, a sort of natural gerrymandering that happens even with compact districts

This is quite true, and I forgot to mention it. In general I think it's bad when representation is distorted, people instinctively pick up on the fact that people aren't getting what they want, and that reduces trust in institutions, which reduces social cohesiveness.
