OK, I don’t think you’re actually correct. It sounds cool though. It was not only German, Italy, Japan, and Spain that had rising fascism. There was famously a coup planned (The Business Plot) in the US. There were also large movements in France and England too.
This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t prepare. It’s to say do that and vote. Voting takes so little effort that there’s no excuse not to.

What if you have two kids under your watch and work won’t let you take off?
Voting in America is extremely difficult compared to other countries. Just saying “its so easy, just do it” overlooks the plethora of strategies the ruling class uses to disenfranchise voters.
Also, this is all assuming ICE isn’t patrolling every polling station come midterms. At that point, I dont think anyone could honestly say “voting is easy”
28 states require employers to give, at least, some time during work hours to vote by law. Beyond that, many states have mail in voting of some kind, or early voting, or both. Obviously some states don’t give you much for options, but it’s worth a try.
Of course, the fact of the matter is, this may be the last time you have to try and save what’s left of this country from diving into a fascist dictatorship. I’d say make the effort FOR your kids. Don’t make excuses because of them.

Normal answer is absentee voting, but that’s part of the reason MAGA has been going after it so hard.
