If the Dems win and they don't put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.
But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.
Companies don't want fascism, they just want tax breaks. Civil war and dictatorships are bad for business.
Fascism is very good for businesses. They squash dissent like unions and the publics voice. Then only the billionaire class will have a voice.
Billionaires in China have been disappeared before. There's only the head of state that matters in fascism.
Only the chosen few businesses, and entirely at the whims of the dictator. Your CEO pisses off the leader, your business goes bye bye.
Fascists weren't bad for companies like VW, BMW, and Hugo Boss.
Tell that to Volkswagen, BMW, Messerschmitt, Audi, Deutsche Bank.... And all these guys: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
