Fascism is inherently self-destructive, so that won't happen. But the collapse will cost a lot of human lives.
Is it though? Mussolini ruled in Italy 21 years, Hitler ruled for 15. And the reason both of them fell was on account of the very concerted effort of an extremely powertul alliance of foreign powers waging unrelenting war against them both for years. Otherwise they would have ruled to their natural deaths, and their heirs would have taken over.
What happened during WWII is not a scenario which is likely to occur in present day US. There is no powerful alliance going to wage unrelenting war against the US fascist government. On the contrary China and Russia applauds what is going on.
Your comment is a good example of why history doesn't repeat itself, even though much of it is very recognisable.
I can't speak for Italy, but Nazi Germany would have collapsed anyway. The whole system was entirely dependent on lots of foreign lending that Hitler had no Intention on paying back. He had also pissed off pretty much all international trade partners.
Germans as a whole were a lot worse off than before Hitler gained power, working a lot more for a lot less, with shortages of everyday goods left and right.
Trumps literally on deaths door and is the #1 suspect in what's likely the largest conspiracy in US history involving child traffickers and their political protectors.
He's been in US politics the last 10 years.
He's run his course. And no one is left to replace him.
He's also killed millions with his Covid policy. Millions more with USAID defunding. And now likely even more with SNAP and ACA cuts.
He also likely won by cheating, not by popularity.
He's just about cooked from every angle imaginable and is not long for this world.
