You may be right, I won't argue that, though I see it a little bit different (btw I blame Bill Clinton) but looking back does not help with the struggle for survival of democracy right now. There will be a time for it after the war has been fought

We agree, however the 'radical center' now look to leaders like Gavin Newsom to fight fascism, who is another Clinton/Biden acolyte with even further right wing views. The only way fascism can be overcome is through direct action from the socialist left (imo).

All the examples in the world where fascism has been fought effectively was when there was a united front against it. So, don't fall into the trap of division. Fight now united against fascism and remind the right-wingers in you coalition later on, that they owe you a new deal

I've studied fascism for many years. The most effective way to fight it is, for example, how Oswald Mosley was defeated in the UK. When a show of force is made by the fascist right, it needs to be countered with a stronger show of counter protest. The US lacks the appetite and intent to fight it.

Btw, I am nearly 60 years old and I fought with fascists on the streets since I was 14. There were never many Nazis in Germany but they are loud and they are always looking for a fight. Sadly, now they are as strong as they have never been since WWII (about 20% in elections)
