The circus-like events are what help enable the fascism. They aren't mutually exclusive.

He and the illegitimate party formerly known as the Republicans, used vote suppression, fraud and treason. These are crooks masquerading as nationalists. Let us be clear about this... This is not hyperbole.

was part of it, but WAY too many D's screwed up, and as much as I wish Clinton had won and she ran a pretty good campaign, there were mistakes which she has acknowledged.
The Dem Party fell down on the job in too many ways. Don't misunderstand, I am a VERY VERY STRONG DEM!! But we need to fix OUR own mistakes too.
