It does seem like the fascists will be successful in their soft coup d'état. Too many people are staying at home and dissociating instead of resisting, and the few thousands who want to fight back are still stuck doing ineffective things like peaceful protests or calling "their" representatives. There are too many liberals, and not enough leftists. Hopefully the incoming repression will radicalize more people, but will it be enough to mount a real resistance? Millions are going to suffer or die before then, and it's the worst feeling knowing that there's nothing you can do to stop it right now.

It's unclear whether the maga regime will fall due to a civil war, or world war 3. Or, maybe there will be a "greater" american empire, like the ancient roman one, that will persist for hundreds of years before crumbling. None of these outcomes are good, but while the future is uncertain, the only certainty is that we can't simply give in. We may be tired, we may feel hopeless, but we have to keep fighting. Our survival, and the survival of the most oppressed masses, depends on it.
