Yes! So weird to see purges of trans workers, removal of discrimination protections, homeland security green lighting surveillance based on gender identity, intentionally stoking stochastic terrorism towards a minority….. all that pictured as a shrug on this graph

ERIC ADAMS???? THEY THINK THAT HAD IMPACT??

Nah just fuck their shit up

After structurally creating and ideologically capturing this class of people, I am afraid that the GOP plans to violently activate them against minorities as part of their long term strategy (with plausible deniability that they only stoked the flames of culture war). Thoughts?

It’s not a distraction — it’s the central outcome of what they have worked towards. It’s what they campaigned on, what they spent money on, what they continue to do.

Thank you. We have to simplify the objective — defeat fascists. Sadly, as a trans person, I am anticipating organized physical violence towards us and then others.

Yes! I’m one of them 😊 Probably because of the progressive cultural environment fostered by dense urban neighborhoods? I also feel less likely to be hate crimed when there’s a lot of foot traffic where I am (altho that doesn’t stop everyone). Also we’re usually nerds.

Thank you :) I can’t express to you how hopeless things have felt recently and how happy this makes me

Yes but certain conservatives in power embraced maga and stoked the flames bc they could see the popular potential. Dems actively suppress leftists and don’t seem interested in winning votes. So I kinda agree with you? But the dynamics are different — a very uphill battle for the left.
