Not letting the assholes who are saying they’re gonna do a fascism get into a position where they can do a fascism is a good step to stopping it though.
Well that assumes Trump is capable of utilizing the presidency to organize an effective fascist movement and institute a fascist coup. Frankly, I don’t think he is. He would need buy in from the primary beneficiaries of our current economic system, ie the capitalist elite.
Until their class position is threatened by an organized left or labor movement, they won’t resort to supporting a fascist coup. As economic inequality rises, this becomes a less and less distant possibility. Unfortunately, inequality will likely rise no matter who wins the 2024 election.
