Unless they go to war...
The real issue is that nobody with any degree of power really cares.

- Francoist Spain: 40 years.
- Pinochet Chile: 17 years.
- Salazar Portugal: 36 years.
If you were 22 when Pinochet took power for example you didn't see the end until 39. Your best years lost. And that's the "lite" version. (I ignored Italy because of WW2)
If the US MAGA contingent gloms on to this fascism malarkey by anointing a true believer after Trumps inevitable death (he is pushing 80, after all) we would be looking at decades of loss.
