"They'll be fine when the fascists take over by just keeping their
opinions to themselves and being good Americans."

That is a piece-of-shit opinion, not "a rhetorical device". That some of the DUers you aim is at are LGBT, and thus clearly under threat, just makes it worse.

And the OP is not suggesting rebellion after unjust laws have been passed; it's suggesting rebellion if Trump wins the Electoral College.

By the way, Ms. Toad is not asking the same question - she says "As much as I hate the concept of him becoming president again - if he actually wins and we prevent him from taking office by unlawful means, we are just like him." and "That is exactly what the MAGA crowd believed about Biden. What gives us any more right to use unlawful means to retain the white house then they had?"
