"Back in August of 2016 I created a list of 19 ways that the Nazis pushed Jews out of society[...] By my count, Republicans today are attempting to achieve all 19 of these effects but attacking trans people instead."

Ngl, this article paints a pretty grim future for America and especially for trans Americans.

F me. This hit really hard.

I think this line hit harder than any:

More likely than not, the current MAGA base would laugh and revel in photos of trans people having their heads shaved, having involuntary surgeries performed upon them, being correctively raped, and being forced to do manual labor…

…They would. This is not an exaggeration or “I hate MAGA” litmus test, millions would legit cheer this on from their little screens, like it’s the solution to the country’s problems, and social media platforms would egg them on and tailor posts to fit the individual. Hitler’s propaganda apparatus has nothing on us.

F me.

Yeah I don’t see a way out of this either. Collapsing corporate social media would help more than the author realizes, I think, but still.

Considering how the whole room laughed after Trump said to Bukele "You're going to have to build five more places"? I absolutely believe it. People have been so brainwashed by the propaganda machine, it's insane.

You have no idea. There are millions that don't just want public executions without due process, they want to participate. They want to publicly stone people. They're just waiting for their daddy to say okay, go kill people. Yall-qaeda was a joke in 2016, today its the fascist regime that controls ever facet of the US, including the cucks that call themselves chief of a military branch. The oath is to the constitution, not the commander in chief. They have all proven they're apart of the dismantling and destruction on the US. History won't forget.
