And this historical lesson is applicable today. The Democratic Party did not Fascist-proof nor Authoritarian-proof their holdings under Biden, nor adequately prepare for the possibility of a returning Trump. I don't know how we forget lessons that are barely a hundred years old.

That entire duration should have been spent maneuvering against the fascist and pre-fascist states instead--politically and militarily. The Former entails the capture or defense of major institutions. The latter, a willingness to act on one's foresight.
