Every trans person I know just wants to be left alone and live their life. This is ridiculous.

This is the first stanza of the Martin Niemöller poem this go around.

[edit] Second, I should say. Obviously undocumented immigrants are already being round up.

Watters asked the vice president whether he considers “the militant transgender movement” to be a “domestic terrorist threat.”

“If you are encouraging people to commit acts of violence against the United States government or against your fellow Americans, absolutely. You’re involved in a terrorist movement,” Vance responded.

Implying to all the right wing extremists that a Trans terror organization is encourging people to commit acts of violence.

So, we're considering the Fox News anchor whose comments led to the homeless encampment shootings to be terrorists, then, right?

Guess I'm involved in terrorism then.

Declaring a whole demographic to be terrorists is how you start a genocide.

Left-wing political radicalization

So what's that then? Free healthcare and cookies?

I eager await the demise of Vance and the rest of these cunts. Hopefully it'll be televised when they swing.

Everyone's got a camera now, it'll be available, I guarantee it.

Idk Hitler killed himself away from the public in a bunker. Just because everyone has a cell phone camera doesn't mean they'll get the chance to see these nazis die.

But one can still hope.

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 12 points 6 days ago

We may not get to see all of the Nazis die, but we'll get to see a lot of the Nazis die.

Cisgender people commit almost all acts of terrorism, but the FBI won't target us.

It's bullshit. What he's saying is that the current administration plans on expanding the persecution of trans people.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh don't worry, they'll still target us. Just not for being cis.

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

They'll target us for just using the word "cisgender".

Every accusation is a confession.

They don't want Property living outside their human trafficking network.
