They're also at the state level. Florida and California come to mind. Sure. They're not some directive passed by the Ministry of Social Hygiene or whatever. They represent local polities passing laws. These laws can easily be reversed if the people complain enough or elect new politicians. Are they stupid laws? Maybe. But having to suffer democratically passed stupid laws does not equal fascism.

Under the bizarro world rules, anyones' rights can be violated if the thugs who do it are local officials.

But having to suffer democratically passed stupid laws does not equal fascism. 100 people are on an island. They hold a vote and the majority decides to adopt "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs", as the basis for all their laws.
Are they communists, or democrats? D(d)emocratic socialists, perhaps?
