I’m sorry but Bush, McCain, and Romney were not fascist. Bush allowed more elections which is the big thing everyone’s afraid of. Trump is an actual danger, which is the story of the boy crying wolf. When the wolves actually come people don’t believe the boy. And political scientists have been warning the Democrats about that for more than a decade.
And no. The voters are not political professionals. Treating them like they are is naive at best.
And Bush invaded Iraq with such a honest justification.
Looking from outside of USA, this ’Democrats crying wolf’ narrative just seems dumb; it’s acking to Obama being elected just because of Republicans crying for communist for the nth time. I mean e.g. what are the examples for McCain been called fascist? The Hills’s example was Madonna in a concert! And that the more serious examples in history are more of type of stupid one offs rather than more cohesive phenomenon.
Though I do not completely dismiss that this couldn’t be a factor but media are really trying to find the silver bullet of explanations which imho just doesn’t exist.
As I’ve had to tell other people, Democracy is plenty capable of doing bad things. Jumping straight to Fascism in a system where there are still open and fair elections is ridiculous.
