I think more than anything else theyre terrified of an actual hard fascist insurgency rising up. They've been so overly eager to try to pin this on a left ideology that it seems like the only thing that really terrifies them is their base of well-off 20 somethings actually disciplining their politicians into action against their enemies. Right now the major leaders of both parties are really just conservatives, and Trump doesnt really have the brain power or ability to wield the State in an effective fascist position, all he can really do is turn some dials on the racism and see what everyone really lets him get away with. But hes well past the point of formulating a vision and aesthetic for the country when he's constantly mired in pedophilia scandals and the contradictions of capitalism.
All they have is a literally dying aesthetic and figurehead and no formulation of how to govern into the future. Really what I see happening from here is a hard coup from some action of the deep state/Israel or (unlike the democrats) their base finally revolts against them in an orgiastic spurt of violence that is going to make the troubles in Ireland/England look like a walk in the park.
