Before a Dallas arena dotted with empty seats, Trump acknowledged that Republicans deploy attacks on transgender athletes strategically before elections.
Make no mistake about this rhetoric on transgender persons: Republicans have murder in their hearts.
No shit. Fascists need a boogieman to demonize and rally around. For the nazis it was the Jews. For the MAGATS it’s trans people.
Nazis went after trans people hard and early.

I’m aware of the general prosecution of all non cis, non straight people under the nazis. Most folks think of Jews as enemy 1 of the nazis (presumably), so I was just aiming for quick snark rather than a super historical comment 😗
Well, they were enemy #1 in that they were the largest group exterminated (6+ million), but there’s a special hate for the LGBT (so special they made a special and unique identifier). But, in terms of numbers, the Jews get the blue ribbon.
Nazis targeted way more than Jews, including trans people who actually were targeted before the Jews, as were socialists and many other groups.
Same with Maga, it’s way more than just trans people.
Yeah, I started to list them all and then decided that I’d keep it succinct lol. If I’d named all of their targets, it would have been a multi page comment
Admits?
Brags.
