That actually isn't a direct Sinclair Lewis quote; it's a paraphrase of the message in his novel IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE.

Lewis was right that fascism would come in disguise, he just didn't guess that a virus would so quickly and thoroughly reveal who those leftist authoritarians would be. Northam, Witmer, Newsome, et. al.

It is #RepubloFascism, and it puts the needs of GOP corporate donors above those of the American populace. They direct relief money there. They relax safety rules for increased profits. And for the poor and infirm, they say, “Let them eat BOOTSTRAPS!”

I would say it is here as corporate fascism. And celebrated every July 4th as the greatest ruse upon any group of people.
