But is the "incipient fascism... in the beginning stages" Inevitably to be completed? I'm pretty sure we can stop it if enough people calm down and don't give up too soon on democracy, just because they see a barrage of scary headlines and class war battle of narratives (iow, hype) that corporate media want them to believe.

I still believe Joe Biden was right when he said at the end of most of his speeches... "We can do this by remembering who we are. You've heard me say this a million times. We're the United States of America. The idea this is beyond our capacity, I just don't buy. We can do anything if we do it together"
