Omg is this bad and actually insulting to these vets who died for us.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever learn from history in this way ESPECIALLY when propaganda is so rampant. There not only is no consensus on what our reality actually is, there's no extreme moment where people are compelled to take action until after it's too late. Everything else is just viewed as "politics as usual."
Everything has a veneer of legitimacy, there's just enough wiggle room to paint anything as "not worth rioting over" and so we'll all be agitated until the moment comes when we can use hindsight to say "yep, we were on the road to fascism and now it's actually here." There weren't any bodies before they took over, but there sure as hell will be after.
If we can all sit here while "Judge" Cannon literally acts as a member of Trumps legal defense team, then there isn't anything else short of actually murdering people that will get us off our seats. We all watched Jan 6th happen and as far as I know NO ONE from the general public went to go try to stop it or fight them. We had plenty of warnings as they were all talking about it on Facebook and whatever. That's them literally trying to take over the government and we (me included) just sat here.
I don't look forward to storming the beach of Omaha, along the Missouri river
Hate to tell you, with our military in their hands, it would be a fascist reign of darkness only guerilla insurgency could address over a long course of time if at all. We spend more on our military industrial death machine than the next 9 nations combined. It would be slaughter. As an example, there are 12 nuclear powered aircraft carriers on Earth, 11 of which are ours.
The rest of the world vs. Fascist US would be the end of civilization, because fascists would have no qualms using every apocalyptic tool in our arsenal, preferring the world end to losing control of it.
An empire, if you will.
Precisely, and being sold on the same fascist terms of promising safety and security for the right people against their imagined enemy scapegoats.
