I cannot stress strongly enough that genocides do not start with death camps. That’s where they end.
No, they start with dangerous rhetoric that whips up violence against marginalized groups.
People like Walsh, Pool, Shapiro, Carlson, Raichik, etc. absolutely know this. They are fomenting a genocide against trans and queer folks, and it is working.
The fact that the violence isn’t organized yet doesn’t make it any less deadly. They are creating a culture of violence that operates on stochastic terror, random and unpredictable, designed to push queer and trans folks into hiding or risk death.
And from what we're seeing happening on Twitter, they are currently using the Club Q shooting as justification for further arming themselves and further attacks. If this goes unchallenged, then this gets worse from here, not better.
