Fascist governments throughout history have always been largely incompetent

Kinda. Fascism requires a different power and economic structure. Particularly in the age of democracy where borders and populations are both more solid and liquid simultaneously. Apparent incompetence is often an attempt at quelling dissent from either the population or regime. They range from smart to dumb, but largely more brutal. Don’t mistake an air fryer for a toaster oven just because they both produce a lot of hot air

never made things better for the people who voted for it

Usually, yeah. Concentrating power means fewer people have to be pleased with you to maintain power. That’s why democracy is usually better to its citizenry, you have to please more people.

They’re great for making rich people even richer in record time though.
