Coincidentally, and in case you are not aware of this, anti-LGBTQ forces in Poland leverage the same language, comparing LGBTQ equality activism to both the Nazi regime and to the Soviet communist regime, appealing to strong public sentiment against both systems.

Even after such language produced violent anti-LGBTQ riots in the summer of 2019, the rhetoric continued.

The irony, of course, is profound. Leaving people alone to live their lives in peace is nothing like either fascism or Soviet communism.
