...Is the mechanism going to be named "fascism"?

Their utter contempt for democracy is so bloody dangerous. How did these far right democracy stealers end up with the keys of power.

Empires always fall in the end...

Ask Britain right now... the only difference is the Christianity element. Oh wait. Soph peers across the pond.
We are all doomed. Doomed I say.

David Amess's death, an assault on democracy

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2021/oct/16/david-amesss-death-an-assault-on-democracy-cartoon

Also Tory reaction to his murder equals a potential further assault on democracy.

“Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it.”
― Timothy Snyder,

The Home Secretary on the Sunday Shows talking about further ways to limit our freedoms because of this awful incident. Because of cause she is.
