...which is basically what democracy is, but systemitized such that it can be applied at scale.
If we had a consensus based government I wouldn’t have a fascist as a representative

Yes and we should all agree on who is going to represent us. Otherwise the losing party is disenfranchised.
You're not going to get unanimous approval for anything when your group size is several thousand people
Maybe the groups should be smaller then
Also, smaller groups mean more representatives, which means unanimity/consensus as you say would also be unlikely at the national level.

Sorry to inform you of this, but nations exist whether you want to believe in them or not.
Perhaps. But this is the system we have.
