There were literal Nazis in the US government at the time. As in, cannot go to East Germany Nazis. Not to mention paramilitary kingdoms in both J Edgar's FBI and the CIA.
I’d credit it more to the fact that Trump couldn’t secure the military. A More Competent Fascist ™️ would have done more over their presidency to gain support from their generals and likely wouldn’t have lost so much Congressional support to McConnell post-election. You fail to organize with a purpose and fail to convince/kill your keyholders and your revolution will lose. They raided a building that’s purposefully difficult to secure, took no hostages, had no demands, and didn’t even try to take command and control. They have ex-military amongst their ranks who will have quickly recognized these failures and been taking notes.
Jesus I just realized I’ve been ranting for a while. Just gonna post this
Well obviously but the conditions in the government weren’t ripe for an actual fascist coup then either

True but the government was not unstable is what I’m saying
