Anyway it does make sense in the sense that this has happened several times before, virtually every time countries fall to an extreme right fascism, the liberal moderates do a pitiful job being a slight inconvenience to the people who would literally have them dead in a camp without even thinking about it twice, mostly because they themselves are too corrupt and stupid in a time of extreme income inequality.
People think history never goes backward, but that's not the case. The Fascists have literally already attempted a violent coup. They're going to do it again and again until they succeed, and at that point you had better get your LGBTQ friends to Canada. Say, next time they have more people in power to put their hands on the scale.
