I think you are DRASTICALLY underestimating how durable fascist regimes are. Without external intervention they can continue for DECADES. Societies don't just collapse when people get fed up.

    Maybe they meant the end of "the United States as we know it," which could be right. Or, arguably, already is.

    But as a lifelong resident of the US, your point about how long regimes can last is extra scary. Two of the biggest facets of this country's identity have been that we have a lot of money/resources and that we have a lot of weapons. Plus we have our special brand of "fuck y'all; got mine" culture.

    It seems like a nasty recipe for a fascist regime to isolate and turtle up and just grind along for half a century.

    I don't mean when people are fed up. I mean when millions are starving to death and the firestorms are ravaging our croplands. When the hurricanes give us a Katrina level disaster 6 times a year. When it becomes literally impossible for organized society to maintain itself.

    This is happening sooner than you think.
