Trump's fascist troops have been deployed in American. They stormed the capitol on Jan 6, 2021. They attempted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. They have stormed FBI buildings. The strut around carrying their guns. They all support GOP political candidates or they are one themselves. They are bullies and must be managed lest they gain power in our democracy.
In Texas and Florida today, state authorities are coming for the parents of trans kids. Red states that have been seized by fascist demagogues are purging libraries and schools of books, banning drag shows, and outlawing women’s rights to abortion and contraception.
Sexuality, race, and religion are universally weaponized by fascists. But it usually begins with sexuality/gender.
The ACLU is tracking 371 anti-trans bills across the United States: every one was introduced by Republicans. Most all include draconian criminal penalties. Erin Reed has compiled a map of them on Substack. Many are promoted as being necessary to “protect the children.”
That would be the same children who die by bullets every 2 hours and 26 minutes every day in America. Are injured every 10 to 15 minutes.
