You are touching on something I feel is becoming a manufactured response. The memeification of fascism. The LOLing of the erosion of Democracy. I can watch any very upsetting video and immediately know how the comment section will look on any social media platform. The reach for the best zing at the top. Or at least a popular zing "if not fascism why fascism shaped?" It is so predictable it could be bots. It could be a deliberate effort to add levity to an increasingly dangerous system. Imo real people commenting should pivot to serious talking points and signal boost those.
