I don't think tech companies got caught with their pants down, they just hit the far end of the S curve regarding growth.
A lot of other "tech" companies in the past saw massive leaps in tech capabilities, then hit a wall once tech got to a certain level. Computing has hit its wall.
The only nominee with a unanimous vote is Marco Rubio, who was appointed in part to be the adult in the room. Trump has some picks that are within the realm of acceptable and there are several picks that are clearly down party lines. Also, the Senate doesn't allow fillabustering for nominee confirmations.
And if the problem with fascism is President Trump, him not being in office would go a long way to preventing fascism. After all, a lot of criticism of Biden recently has been he didn't go full liberal fascist.

You don't vote for a political party in the hopes that you might be able to push them to represent your interests, you vote for a party who WILL represent your interests.
If you aren't voting for a party that represents your interests because it isn't in that ballot, you should vote for the closest one to get what you can get.
Unless you are going to say Trump is just as bad as Democrats.
I know that's the reason why I'm getting downvotes. Luckily, because this is Lemmy, downvotes don't really mean much.
It is just funny that you see this back and forth between how people here will never vote for Democrats yet they'll make these grand statements on how Democrats, without their support, should act.
I would put the Democrats as more of a moderate reform party. There is an attempt to make mild change, a lot of which gets undone when Republicans take power.
You have a section of America that wants more manufacturing to return to the US, and they see tarrifs as a way to make more production domestic. Those people haven't thought through that that will cause a lot of inflation and will heavily impact a lot of the manufacturing industry that the US still has.
Though tough, through thorough thought, you can learn how to properly pronounce English words.
