It upsets me greatly the number if comments, not necessarily here, that are just like "lol he doesn't mean it! Hes saying it for his base!" "LOL he will never be able to do it!" Like yes he can and he will... he is just as much a stupid hog as his followers. People need to stop pretending these is secretly an adult behind the Republicans, they are exactly the clown fascists they appear to be.
Like its really not comforting to see nominal allies not taking our extermination seriously.
He's going to do it (and so is DeSatan). It will be red meat for his base and democrats will secretly love it, having an issue to fundraise about without really giving a shit about the outcome.
Trans and LGBT comrades should get organised, arm themselves and begin making escape plans
Already have an escape plan in motion. Not only am I queer, but I am Jewish too so my ass should have started this a long time ago. Other than this site, I'm just going to keep my head down and fake being as :frothingfash: as I can until I'm safe.
I decided I'm going to be a lib and unironically try to find refuge in :kkkanada:. Not the best, but at least it would be the easiest move and Canada has some really good LGBT laws. We may have lost the culture wars in the states, but it's not over yet in Canada. However, I an not ruling out taking the plunge and fucking off to Ireland. It's not a settler-colonial state, it's completely out of both fourteen eyes and NATO, and the Irish people voted in gay marriage via a popular vote.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that Toronto is majority foreign-born, so I can find strength in numbers from People's Party hogs. That, and any non-American country has the advantage of hiding leftism behind Patriotism. Whenever someone suggests doing something fascist or lolbertarian, just respond "what are we, a bunch of Americans?"
The main reason Trump does this is that DeSantis is already halfway there as governor of Florida and that Trump has to one-up him. He absolutely is serious about this because all red states are moving into that direction at full speed. That means that even before the primaries have started, trans genocide is the Republican consensus, which means Democrats are almost guaranteed to be completely unwilling to push back against this.
Declaring that I will ban all black people from going outside their houses but it's not that bad because that's not what i actually think I just say it because memaws and papas like it
Yes and no, there are tons of normies who have no animus toward us that think this is just a joke. Yeah we never relied upon them for anything, but its still distressing.
Nazis didnt rise into power without the help of a bunch of opportunists who are okay with fascism as long as they kill communists and help capitalism stay alive.
It doesn't really matter whether he means it so long as it is popular enough with the right people. And these things are guaranteed to be coming down the pipeline. Trump is hardly alone in this, he isn't even a leading figure in transphobic policy (yet). Desantis would so the same things, just more effectively, and there are hundreds of Desantises ready to be given power by the usual mechanisms. Trans people are a central focus of reaction and we will not be able to take the heat off of that without crushing reaction itself, which requires, and has always required, ground-up radical organizing (that liberals will then try to recuperate).

We should all be forming cadres and making plans to fight back and develop underground railroads.
its going to be a necessity or else a massive amount of us are going to die

The NYT did stories about Hitler where they said he was just pandering to his base

The Lavender Scare never ended.
I don't think they realize democrats are virtually guaranteed to lose the senate in 2024.

Liberals aren't allies, they never were. Allies stand up to fight, liberals are along for the ride.

Isn't this what people were saying about his Muslim ban and border wall back in 2015?
and overturning Roe
Yes
