    How so? Fascism is rarely a matter of a single election. It’s usually a slide. Providing a bulwark against that slide means you have several election cycles to snuff out fascism and return to liberal democracy.

      So you’re just crossing your fingers and hoping the fascism goes away on its own?

      What are the historical and material causes of fascism? How do they influence how you should respond to fascism?

        Rereading the thread, I think we’re in agreement. I was more adding onto your point, that building strong institutions and norms is important along with political activism. Institutions and norms slow the rot from the inside, political action slow it from the outside.
