Yep. That's what makes it so downright abusive for them to dangle fascism over our heads like a threat if we don't get behind their milquetoast bullshit half-ass glad-handing fascists fuckery. They know we don't have a choice so they don't even fucking try.
The job of a US politician seems to be convincing their donors and constituents that they will protect each from the other.
Campaigning on policy that benefits the voters goes against the class interests of the donors, but campaigning on "the other guy is bad" keeps the donors happy.
