To add to this, the reason American fascism doesn’t seem quite as dramatically and aggressively oppressive domestically is because it doesn’t really have any meaningful domestic opposition. There is no radical left, not a well organized one anyway. There no real material need to have Browncoats and Gestapo driving around in black vans right.

The right is hopped up on culture war shit, because that’s all they got. Not saying that can’t result in actual repression against LGBTQ, but I doubt it’s going to be as dramatic and sudden as a Night or Broken Glass situation, more just a slow roll back of rights. Trump will likely just be a slightly worse than usual republicans president. Which is still bad, and if you want to vote to keep that out of office go right ahead. But let’s be honest about the reality on the ground here.
