I dunno if Franco's Spain is a good example. Post-WW2, the US and its western allies mostly let him be. He was a reliable anti-communist, after all.
The regime ended when he died.
Yes, I mentioned it takes a long time - generations. And if by "let him be" you mean nobody went to war with Franco, then yes, that's why it's Plan A, the option that doesn't involve all out war.
Are you looking for an option where the US can quickly end it's fascist movement? Unless you have a time machine and can go back in time and convince more people to vote for Kamala Harris, then I got nothing for ya. Best case is, the US is Franco's Spain and it's going to suck for decades. Worst case the US is WWII Germany, and it's going to really suck, though for a much shorter period of time.
