How do you recognize fascism? One key feature is the compulsion to identify and seek to punish a growing list of enemies. Individual people can practice this in their daily lives, constantly trying to figure out who isn't 100% 'with' them. When these folks gain political power, the result is laws that reflect their compulsion to demonize and punish those who don't align with or cater to them. The result is fascism. Something to think about when you head to the polls. You're going, right?
