Actually, we got fascism by constantly moving towards it over a span of at least 60 years, with the only difference being that we sometimes moved more quickly towards it and sometimes more slowly.
We moved towards it under Biden too, and would’ve continued moving towards it under either him or Harris.
The only thing that’s notable about Trump as far as that goes is how much he moved us and how quickly. But this was always the destination.
The only way we could’ve moved away from fascism rather than towards it would’ve been to elect federal politicians who were actually good instead of just less bad. But we not only haven’t been given that choice, but have been indoctrinated into treating less bad as a virtue
I’ll go one better - if the DNC hadn’t interfered and fucked us over, the people would have elected Sanders in 2016 and we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.
And that’s how you got trump and actual fascism.
