Think less "overthrow," more "new management." Conservatives often rail against existing repressive institutions not because they are fundamentally opposed to their mission, but because they think those institutions aren't doing a good enough job at repressing the right people.
Please point to a historical example of a Liberal republic being overthrown by a fascist or military junta where there was no threat of socialist or labor movements. As far as I know, that's somewhere between extremely rare to unprecedented. The capitalists prefer the more stable system of Liberal democracy, and when that fails they are fine with fascist dictatorship as a back-up. But that back-up usually only occurs during intense crisis and a socialist movement.
Considering Biden is an obedient puppet of capital there's no reason for capital to fund the fascist uprising. That would only happen if there was actual threats in the state to them.
We're seeing a spike in labor activity, a democratic socialist was a major player in the last two presidential campaigns, and we're one year removed from a generational wave of protests kicked off and sustained for months by the patent injustices of capitalist policing. There's more of a threat of socialist or labor movements in the U.S. than there has been since the 60s or 70s.
We're living in unprecedented times. Capitalism is facing an intense crisis it's never faced before - the rate of profit is plummeting and the existing system is stretched to it's breaking point with no where left to exploit.
All this, plus climate change
