There’s really only one parallel that matters here: There’s nobody with the ability and/or willingness to invade America and depose the fascists. Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany’s natural lifespans were cut short by WWII, but there’s simply no Poland for America to invade and no Soviet Union to invade them back. I also have zero faith in the American public to wrangle power away from fascists if they’re successful in their coup, so the only possible end for a fascist America would be running its natural lifespan, which is a lot more than the dozen years or so Nazi Germany survived.
Edit: I meant Spain in the sense of long-lived fascism, not “nice” fascism. I strongly doubt MAGA America will be anywhere near as nice as Franco’s Spain.
I… uh… hate to rain on your parade, but this is shaping up to be more of a Spain situation.
I’m praying for Chile, expecting Spain, and dreading Nazi Germany.
But fascists lose in the end. The question is just how many of us non-fascists will suffer and/or die before that happens.
We will prevail over tyranny
viva la quince brigada!
¡No pasaran!
Get those big thoughts out buddy, don’t leave us hanging. Draw out those parallels.

My hope is that the guy croaks on a McDonalds hamberder and the American Nazi Party eats itself alive trying to fill the void
