I certainly hope not. But that is my fear too.
Even if they don't round us up, over 80% of us are unemployed or under employed.
Killing our benefits like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Foodstamps, Housing, etc?
Just a soft means of killing us.
#SoftGenocide is more deadly. It goes unnoticed.
Trump administration identifying #Autism, #ADHD as "dire threats to the American people."
Underlying many of Trump's policies?
Eugenics. Against all disability.
Libertarian survival of the fittest.

An addendum:
I must honor my fear.
Fear is my guardian, my screaming siren.
Fear is the warning of annihilation that must be heeded.
I will embrace my fear and share its wisdom.
I will let it flow through me into purpose and strength.
And when we have acted, I will remember its lessons.
Where the danger once stood, we will remain.
We are stronger for having feared... and acted... together.
