    One way to resolve the interminable authoritarianism/fascism/coup discourse is to realize that Trump is very, very lazy and has been sundowning for years. So: half-assed authoritarianism, doddering fascism, a codger coup. The adjective shapes the noun.

        It's not just Trump is old but America and the other western nations are much older societies than the classic fascist states of the early 20th century. People are living longer, having fewer kids, so population skews much older. Makes for a different kind of authoritarianism.

        True, there is a youth wing of to contemporary rightwing authoritarianism (the Proud Boys etc.) But small subset of LARP-ing losers -- they are dangerous if they have a sympathetic president in power as with Trump, but much weaker than their predecessors.

        Honestly with the way boomers have clenched their 80yo fingers around power and refuse to let go, the “codger coup” is a lot bigger than just Trump or even one party.

        But is it actually defanged, or just appear that way? Trumps awful, lazy approach and worked many many times before.

        I get the sense that the civil service people are just going to start working with Biden's transition team as their real bosses, and not bothering to talk to the Trump political appointees.
