    Of course it will. Then once they have all the trans people rounded up they’ll target the gays, then the blacks, the mexicans, and so on and so forth until everyone’s in camps that isn’t white.

    Republican supporters won’t wake up to this until they start coming after the stupid and obese.

      You’re not safe even if you’re white. If nothing else they’ll target people who like the color blue just to keep some “enemy” in their sights.

      White people are just further down the list of easy targets. At that point they’ll start by hair color and nitpick their way down from there.

          As long as they don’t have any lefty thoughts. Don’t forget that the Nazis also put unionists, socialists and communists in camps.

              You mean the fact that the biggest initial source of support the Nazis got was from the emerging business class who were scared of the rising influence of labor unions? Can’t imagine why that gets pushed under the bed.

              Not like we had that nearly happen here in the US or anything though. Just don’t look into the Business Plot or that many of the Jan 6thers turned out to be small business tyrants…

              Just remember that the most dangerous Nazis aren’t the skinheads on the corner but the ones on Wall Street.

        Working backwards, we could reasonably expect Italian, Irish, and Polish people. Discrimination really isn’t about the color of your skin if history is anything to go off of.

      they’ll never target the stupid, those are the people who will support them no matter what. They’re already trying to demonize intelligence and education.

      the bar for what counts as stupid enough will continue to lower, though.

      Well SCOTUS went ahead and let them have their anti-abortion laws, what else are they going to get their people distracted by? It was always going to be a never ending harassment of “others” leading to the spiral down into hell, SCOTUS just broke the seal for them to do it legally.

    This is great news. Hopefully this makes headlines everywhere and this abomination of an Act can be thrown out.

    I mean, at this stage you can tell that by the name.

    These deplorables love children so much that they don’t even bat an eye at using child sexual abuse as a political tool while simultaneously turning a blind eye to 300,000 children raped by clergy.

      Or children starving because they have to pay for shitty food at school, or children starving and having a bad life because their parents can’t afford to pay for more even if they already work, or children at orphanages…

      Yeah, much like with forbidding abortion (but then never caring whether the no longer-aborted child will have a proper home to live), children are just a political tool.

    It should be the parents’ job to regulate what kind of content their children consume on the internet, not the government’s.

    This is a classic GOP move. Name a bill something like “Free Americans for Internet Freedom Act” that prevents net neutrality and idiots love the name and support it. Name a bill something like “Kids Online Safety Act” as a way to censor and control information, and idiots love the name and support it

    Why is it always the Save The Children Act and not the Erradicate Trans People Act?
