Or

The "state" says they're not going to take this beating so they fight back, become fascists and the country goes to [BLEEP]. I

Outstanding.

Fortunately neither will happen.
Most people aren't marxists.
Most people aren't fascists.
Those tendencies will always be at the fringe, and unfortunately the people who believe them will get bones thrown their way from time to time, but ultimately our republic is stable enough that one or the other philosophy would need much, much more support than it has now to prevail.  This isn't Weimar Germany where you can become chancellor with less than 1/3 of the vote and the chancellor gets to do whatever he wants.

Most people aren't racist or homophobic yet that is what is being shrilled from the mountaintops of MSM and the progressive left. Those types are fewer than most people think but you would think the average white person is a closet KKK member according to the screaming minority. 

Germany and Hitler and all that was a long time ago. History can and often does repeat itself to varying degrees because the people who believe in the extreme ideologies never go away. Just ask the Middle East. The Taliban and al Qaeda are still around. They're not going away as long as just one of them, and it only takes one to still believe and teach someone else and the cycle starts all over again. 

Don't be dumb enough (willfully ignorant?) to think the current rhetoric is not shaping the opinions of people against this country's interests in general and that it won't be an issue. I may not particularly like you or your opinions but I know you're not stupid. You're not stupid, right?

I ask you the same question, only more politely.
You wrote that we are at a precipice where only way to defeat the Marxists is by siding with fascists.
Which is imaginative hyperbole at best.
So I'm trying to bring you back to reality.  January 6 was just a month ago.  How do the events of that day fit with your thesis?

He did not say that at all. Read what he wrote again. Or my Cliff's Notes version neither of which say that. I'm not spelling it out for you.
