Trump is the figure uniting the fascists in the US when he pops it topples and the spell is broken.

I sincerely hope so, but I don't find that likely. People aren't turning to fascism just because they like him, they're doing so because they aren't able to think critically, or are hateful, or are looking for easy answers to the complex issues fucking up their lives, or all of the above.

Trump didn't get to power in a vacuum. The political environment is ripe for it.

Absolutely, but Trump is the centre of it. There is a reason fascism fails after leaders die, it is difficult to sustain. There isnt enough foundations yet for itnto survive after.

Even so, Drumphs "charisma", whatever the fuck that is, is the glue holding all the shit people together. JD Vance isn't going to be able to threaten GOP congressturds and senaturds with primaries. No-one even likes him, it's just his attachment to Drumphs starfish that gives him any power.
