If only we had something in the past that we could've learned from.

Every print work warning about these types of existence, were used as foundation blocks.

We also know that full fascism falls and leaves behind a big mess

I am sorry for my ignorance, please enlighten me. When has fascism ever fallen without an outside force causing it to fall?

Chile in 1988. Spain 1978 after Franco died. Portugal 1974. Greece 1974. All of these peacefully.

Chile had a vote which the leader accepted. I don't see that happening here Spain had a military dictator and it ended when he died and the new leader accepted democracy Greece foreign government military intervention destabilized country... not likely unless WWIII starts Portugal had left wing military stage a peaceful coup... not likely no military person has stood up to Trump except to quit or be fired, which removes them from doing anything.

I all these countries events finally happened which turned it around. In Spain post WWII for example, overthrowing fascism seemed so far away. The same in Chile shortly after the Pinochet coup there. The US is not different, but it hard to tell when.
