      Autistics. “Drain on the system” “they don’t think like you or me” “brain is damaged from vaccines, more humane to put them down”

      i hope I’m wrong.

        I have depression, my own mother says I’m a burden on society, says shit like “if you aren’t contributing, you don’t deserve to est” (aka: the “useless eater” nazi terminology), as I try to keep her (small) bussiness afloat so our family can survive. Conservatives have zero empathy.

        And they read news about a suspect getting shot and celebrate “good, skip the trial and save resources”, they think that the US not having death penalty is “being soft”. They think people with autism, are somehow “dangerous”…

        The only way we fix this is hope the older generation die quicker (no offense to the elderly people who are left-of-center, but I’ve seen too many raging bigoted conservative old people).

        I am autistic. In response to the announcement of RFK’s “Wellness Farms”, I got into learning how to use a shotgun. Hopefully there will be a Rainbow Panther militia that wouldn’t mind having me.

        If I am to be put down, I would prefer it to be on a battlefield, than a plantation.

      Autistic people next week. If we’re lucky, we get an AI generated pamphlet about the wonders of celibacy, to avoid making more of us. If we’re not, the US will either ban vaccines altogether, or send us to camps.

    They’ll try and pin any excuse, on furthering their agenda, even if it has zero data or evidence to support it. Just because you’re terrified of things you don’t understand, Mr distraction, doesn’t mean those things are terrorists. It’s just you.

    I mean that’s definitely not true and he knows it. He is saying he wants others to murder people for him in cold blood.

    At the very least let him do it himself. A leader who so loudly values strength would surely be capable of it.

    The Stonewall riot proved that the Queer Community were not violent - until pushed too far. I have seen little to no violent activity from that marginalized group in the news (and truly they would make sure people knew so long as it wasn’t a white straight male), making this false attack to rile up hatred. But people will only remain defensive for so long. It will end up finally giving these conservative groups what they want - actual violence, and a reason to push harder. It worked well for Israel, so why not do a pogrom here, too?

    Oh yes men in dresses makeup and heels are deadlier than assassins. What are they going to do? Gag you to death with their caustic wit? Read you to filth? Do a death drop right in front of you? Kill you with kindness and vegan makeup. You’ll be blinded to death by bold color eye shadow. Take a deadly shit in a women’s restroom, fuch some hunk so hard your eyes will bleed?

    This is truly the party of fools. Maybe the aliens are coming to eradicate earth of all this suffering at the hands of idiots.

      Kamala will keep saying “I’ll follow the law” on trans people, as she enforces the law sending us all to camps.

        democrats are useless fucks.

        Unless your name is netanyahu. Then they’ll ignore the Leahy law to make sure you get everything you need to genocide Palestinians for them.

        In all other things, you can count on them to make up some procedural bullshit to stand in their own way.

      It won’t let me edit, so I’ll reply instead:

      “EDIT”: Nope. They’re blaming people who spoke out against genocide, regardless of how they voted. Like always. We were all there for the 2024 election. Everyone saw the constant barrage of vicious attacks from the right against trans people. The silence from democrats was more deafening than Krakatoa. And now democratic think tanks are starting to talk about dropping even the fake solidarity with trans people.

      sure, just gotta wait for the committee to roll out where all the Dems can sit on it and spew awesome quotes for the media and then do…jack all.

      OR they’ll utilize the system that the GOP have pretty but shown to completely ignore.

      OR Americans maybe can FINALLY stand up and protect their fellow Americans that are now under attack and are at valid risk of being executed en masse.

      lol who am I kidding, we know NONE of this is going to happen.

    Full quote:

    In a clip from the interview posted to X by journalist Ken Klippenstein, Watters asked the vice president whether he considers “the militant transgender movement” to be a “domestic terrorist threat.”
    “If you are encouraging people to commit acts of violence against the United States government or against your fellow Americans, absolutely. You’re involved in a terrorist movement,” Vance responded.

    Not that I don’t think violence against trans people is absolutely his intention, thankfully, he didn’t manage to vocalize that specifically to his base, nor is he capable of doing it himself - he’s still very scared of getting sued for hate speech or libel, or for anything hate-related to happen under his direct watch. The quote was basically “If you’re a terrorist, you’re a terrorist!” with numerous wording twists to hope bigots would take further implication.

    My point being, keep fighting them for being transphobic, but please don’t reach the level of fear at which you become afraid of daily life.

      Ken Klippenstein is citing two inside sources who claim Trump is about to designate trans people as “violent extremists,” and that the FBI will target them, and that is a bit scarier. I think the queer community actually needs to be highly alert and paying attention in the coming days, unfortunately.

      I can’t argue with his response in a vacuum. But the lack of any sort of attempt to make it not just about trans is exactly what I would expect.

      He could’ve added “any” in there, but he didn’t.
