The main reason to remember that the fascist is UNPOPULAR is to shift how you think about antifascism. Get off your back foot. Lean forward. Other people are seeing what you are too.

Every opportunity I have to speak with people I don't know, and they ask how I am, I answer with a variation of "I'm just trying to survive this Nazi fascist takeover of our government." I say it simply and plainly, describing reality, and so far I've gotten nods and agreement.
Thanks for this! I've been answering more vaguely, but you're right, describing the actual horror does sound more effective for not normalizing what's happening
I think this is really important, we have to talk about it and say this does not feel safe, I also have been saying that I am protesting and I encourage you to do so as well. I was surprised to know that people are hearing about the protests and are thinking about participating.
For folks looking to learn and contribute, join your local tenants union. A good tenants union has a mix of political organizing and radical direct action like eviction defense blockades. It's a great way to get some experience and help your community.
If there was ever a time, it's now.
If there was ever anything worth for,
it's your neighbor.
If there was ever a moment that we hazard yet forward,
it is now.
I've been trying to work a similar message. 'Don't assume anyone around you is OK with fascism. Don't let others assume the same of you. Silence is compliance.'

- don't fear pushing back! (They're not popular; your neighbors might join you rather than target you)
The WILL of the PEOPLE
Of the HEAVENS and the EARTH is against oppression
FIGHT!
People with big mouths. People who draw people out of the woodwork.
The problem is, they usually stand alone.
It's a very tiring thing to do.
A full fledged one.
