The fascistic tendencies and garden variety xeno-homophobic amplification we are seeing lately are part and parcel of the American experience. This shit has ebbed and flowed since the first Christians killed the first natives and traded their first slaves.
The techniques of fascism are as old as empire.

Modern day America is not Germany in 1930. Let me repeat. This is not Germany in the 1930s. This is humanity doing what it has done forever. Vigilance is endless.
