    The US is currently under fascist rule, but a neolib president (which every Democrat one in my lifetime has been) is what would doom it?

      It would mean that American voters are simply repeating the same cycle that brought them fascism, in the first place.

      If they manage to break that habit, I would say there’s hope. If they don’t…then there isn’t.

          Neoliberalism is what leads to fascism. It’s where fascist go to hide, until fascism becomes fashionable again.

          Voting for neoliberals brought us fascism. The slow and steady march to the right, that is enabled and often encouraged by neoliberal politics.

          Decades of catering to capitalists, who inevitably become oligarchs, who inevitably decide they want total control without restrictions, is what brought us fascism.
