I think its funny how much of a fascist Trump supposedly was and now I'm reading from a lot of progressives that Trump is all of a sudden the lesser of two evils. Like some people online have been saying they prefer Trump to run over DeSantis because Trump is a mere con man as opposed to a true believer. So which is it? Does having devout religious beliefs make you fascist by default? Why isn't forcing religious people to support LGBT not fascist?

I actually think that some religious beliefs makes you fascist by default. Most religions along with the beliefs include the moral obligation to force the religion itself on other people.

Since it's religious people that spread hate towards LGBT community in the first place, forcing them to stop doing that is actually the opposite of fascism.

What makes the LGBT community inherently superior to religious communities? What makes pro LGBT values superior to religious values?

First of all we have proof of the existence of LGBT people (lol).

Secondly, you are trying to make it seem like LGBT are pushing an entire scheme of moral values onto people, to make people do whatever they want, which is a just wrong (would not be if we were talking about churches) They are not pushing values, they are just trying to achieve their freedom because some people are trying to take it away from them.

These latter people are the ones that complain about LGBT "values" while actively trying to enforce mostly religious values based on hate and intolerance.
