In the United States "We’re moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women’s rights are becoming less and less every day ...” said Charlize Theron:

"But what we also see, what we cannot miss, is the resistance. There is hope. There is power in all of us #StandingUp, #organizing, #protesting, #voting, and #caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal."

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author

Heroic librarians accepting personal loss to stand against “egregious,” cowardly legislators. The rarity of those willing to stand against fascist idealisms.
The one thing the fascist mentality glories above all else is to be thought of and called a fascist. They are empty shells otherwise. Hence, “pseudo.”
