How so? Fascism is rarely a matter of a single election. It's usually a slide. Providing a bulwark against that slide means you have several election cycles to snuff out fascism and return to liberal democracy.

So you're just crossing your fingers and hoping the fascism goes away on its own?

What are the historical and material causes of fascism? How do they influence how you should respond to fascism?
