I mean American fascism would probably deify democracy as it's a traditional cultural touchstone to manipulate the people with just like Blue Angels flyovers at the Super Bowl but where would be the wiggle room in that for authoritarianism? At some point you'd either have to abolish voting to maintain the regime or risk losing power in the next four years, and how do you sell abolishing voting in America? It's kind of a mindless truism that it's the bestest.
