    Every fascist regime was established in democratic elections. No fascist regime was overthrown in democratic elections.

      Simply not true. Not all fascist regimes came out of elections. Many, many governments arose from coups, usually military.

      You can’t shift a government from Democratic to fascist, if it was never democratic in the first place.

      To be the pedantic smart ass that I am, Mussolini in Italy and Franco in Spain weren’t voted in.

      This feels questionable at best— there’s a lonnnnnggg history of rulers in countries prior to democracy
