Kansas goddamn.

God damn it all.

Don't get it twisted this attack on trans people in Kansas (how did they identify the people they sent those letters to? They have a list, the monsters.) is a trial, a test. Let them get away with it they will move on to the next smallest group they feel they could target without public backlash.

That is how this works.

Are you an "LGB" person ?
Are you enjoying an upstanding gay marriage with a white picket fence?
Are you a black American (oh wow) but not (oh no no) an immigrant ?

Are you reading the room ?

We're next! We are next.

@futurebird … Yup, and following those groups (or interleaved) it will be Jews, Women (all Women: in this eschatology they're just livestock for breeding), non-Christian (the right kind of Christian) men, and political dissidents.

If they get their way, the USA after the Great Downsizing will have about a third of its current population, and the electorate will be less than 10% of that because the rest will be chattels of one type or another.

@cstross @futurebird My father, who was a boy in nazi occupied Holland (he was born in 1932), once told me of a very painful memory. One of his friends was a Jewish girl who he used to go to the playground with. One day there was a sign on the gate: 'forbidden to Jews'. He asked her to come with him, but she didn't dare to, and never did again.
That's how things start.
