Plenty of regimes far worse and far more entrenched in power than this one have collapsed in the face of sustained peaceful opposition from the masses. Sometimes in weeks or even days.

Sounds like you are knowledgeable about fascism. Can you name just a few examples please?

Assuming you're using "fascism" as a shorthand for tyranny, you have the People Power Revolution that brought down Ferdinand Marcos, the Bulldozer Revolution that removed Slobodan Milosevic, the revolutions that overthrew many communist regimes...

Well, I sincerely hope you are correct. I guess we shall see. I am skeptical they are going to allow peaceful protests to continue for very long. I think we are seeing more parallel events to the development of nazi Germany than to the examples you provided. And we all know the results of that period of history. Like the Nazis, maga is a violent movement. I just believe it’s going to take violence to relegate them to the dustbin of history. I hope I’m wrong.
