What the fascists learned from the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights movement is direct conflict is counterproductive. They're not popular.
But it's much easier to take over the government from the inside by corruption, cheating, control of mass media, and unlimited money.
The GOP have installed operatives whenever and everywhere they can for the past 60 years and once they captured the SCOTUS, they could virtually rule by fiat. Now they can act more openly.
