    Has there been any case in history where a fascist dictatorship ended by voting them out? People need to accept the reality that a fascist takeover is happening

      It just happened in Hungary after 16 years of Orban. The Soviet Union countries all fell with a minimum of violence. There weren’t official votes, but the people made their choices very clear, and most countries accepted it, even Russia. Those that didn’t, like Ceaucescu in Romania, met a bad end.

      Sometimes a dictator realizes that he doesn’t have a choice, and makes the smart decision. Other times their ego does the thinking, and it doesn’t go so well. Guess which one Trump and the rest of his psycho henchmen will choose?Hint: they aren’t known for SMART decisions.
