What will happen instead is most certainly the messy and grinding process of organising opposition, and fighting with MAGA and it's successors over and endless series of strategic goals, for the years or decades to come.

Thinking of the situation as set out from the beginning to follow such or such course of action, eg by presenting Trump as an incarnation of the immortal spirit of fascism whose doing was set out in the beginning of times, very much gets in the way of this process.
And both anticipating the situation correctly and acting adequately require taking into account the idiosyncratic weirdness of the USA in general and Trump's movement in particular.
