…which can be formally appointed or rejected by voting
Fascist organized groups
…which may attempt to physical seize power regardless of political climate, if the physical conditions seem right, but have a much easier time if the political conditions are favorable too
Fascist cultural concepts
…which proliferate regardless of political and physical conditions, and can really only be managed through social norms, which are themselves often reinforced at the ballot box
Just because voting only directly impacts the first problem doesn’t mean it has zero impact on the other two.
In fact, it’s really hard to win the cultural battle and cast fascism as a niche extremist philosophy if it keeps almost winning elections.
Probably worth teasing this apart.

Fascist organised groups who tried to seize power can not be fought with voting but thankfully they still have breakable kneecaps
They can’t be defeated with voting, but they can be aided by not voting.
But yes, I also thank the level designers for putting in accessible weak points.
They do tend to do better when more mechanisms of the state are on their side, though. (But yes that doesn’t mean voting alone defeats them.)
