They won’t because republicans even if they form a dictatorship are less a threat to their interests and goals than the alternative.
More like they can’t because everybody shits on them online so they don’t get enough votes to do anything.
No democrats don’t not fight against rising authoritarianism because people criticize them for supporting genocide and imperialism that’s a deluded take.
If people supported dems wholeheartedly, if people had gone out and voted dem, then the fascism wouldn’t be happening. That’s reality.

If people supported dems wholeheartedly

Your expectations are unreasonable. Not everyone will follow democrats as they play arms broker for a genocide, no matter how entitled you feel to their unconditional support.
