You can't vote away fascism.

If fascists allow themselves to be voted out, fascism didn't go away. It's just been put on pause until they win again.

We have to win every single election for the rest of history. They only have to install someone willing to end US elections once. Unless we solve this problem in a more permanent fashion, the fascists will always just be one more election from taking over again.
