Well, let democracy rule! If the people want fascism, then they should get fascism!
Fascism in the UK is kicking your door in someday, maybe. What the grunts want the grunts get. They outnumber the geeks about ten to one still if you are smart you'll find a way through the coming bad years, and prosper whilst helping a few frightened surviving Muslims etc to get on a boat and escape somewhere nice. ;)
Majority rule. What could go wrong?

Trick is to try and predict when the country goes fascist and find somewhere else to live in time, I don't really fear a fascist government but a fascist people is a different matter

Our best defence of course is our cooking, without the Chinese and Indians we will simply been starved of anything with any taste whatsoever. If the Germans had been addicted to curries the nazis would never had have a chance of getting into power
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

When food becomes scarce stale bread tastes like a feast and weevils a lucky bit extra. :food:

Fascist governments are creations of fascist people.

But, I'd rather cope with fascist people than a fascist government, because if my neighbor is a fascist, it doesn't hurt me a bit unless he breaks the law. If my government is fascist, then it by definition hurts me because I am subject to arbitrary detention, violations of free speech and freedom of religion rights, I lose my right to be secure in person, house, papers and effects, I lose the right to be presumed not guilty in a court of law etc.

If my government is not fascist, I can call the police on fascist individuals. If my government is fascist, then fascist individuals can break my windows and legs and they will get support from the government.

Had the Nazis known how good gefilte fish, kreplach, challah and matzo ball soup was, WW2 would never have happened.

Presumably they did and 'traditional' German food is actually rather good anyway

As long as you can sing, and have the legs to make it over the mountains to Switzerland, you'll be fine...
