1. This is the linchpin for the fascists.

This could be the end of democracy. And it will pass this court.

2. I agree. What they've done so far is anti-democratic - but this could end democracy for good

Which they've made clear is their ultimate aim. And there is no way to "vote them out," though they gained their seats through false pretenses.

3. Well so far

The court seems to be having a hissy fit about their ex-president and his cabinet being held accountable for their actions. Yes, trump and his cronies did commit treason and should be punished. But, the supreme court seems to be saying for each piece of evidence you show we will punish you by taking away this or that. If you look at the different rulings they are a scatter brain of cases. It looks like a child having a temper tantrum and just trying to do what they must to get what they want.
