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.

Fascism requires an "other" to function. Once one "other" is a destroyed there will always be another one to take it's place.

Blonde and blue eyes only?

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

[–] sock@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

huge props to people that didnt blow their brains out at first opportunity going into camps

idk how i would really react but death sounds a lot nicer than concentration camps

Interesting how that never gets talked about...

[–] Rilichu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

It’s not about colour anymore, it’s the return of classism.

the return of classism.

The return? It never left.

"The bill – endorsed by president Joe Biden..."

Why in the world would Biden support this Heritage foundation garbage?

He's a granddad. We shouldn't have granddads who can't work a remote be president. I assume he can't work a remote.

This IS Biden. He's always been a pretty bad human person. The only silver lining is that he's been better than most recently. He's a center-right politician just like most Democrats.

Are you not at all familiar with the man and his political history?

[–] Gravel8@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Because he is an old senile man

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

He's desperate to look bipartisan

"Trans porn must be curropting children because it's all I watch now and my mind is way stronger than a child's." -Marsha Blackburn

[–] buddhabound@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

...and my mind is stronger than a child's...

It's not though. It really, really isn't.

[–] Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] GyozaPower@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] the_crab_man@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Parents aren't generally capable of that, I've learned.

We should protect the children, lets start with the Catholic Church.

[–] BeefDaddySupreme@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To protect kids from gay priests who are molesting them?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Heavens, no. To find a way to extract some monetary value out of that.

This isn't about protecting kids it's about banning LGBT persons from the internet.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Not a surprise. That is the intention.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep exactly as we all knew.

She wants to confine children like I was to the years of confusion and alienation I had to go through. That’s cruel. I should not have had to feel so alone and nobody else should either.

[–] glacier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is more than just cruel. It is abusive and genocidal. LGBT youth will die because of this law and the countless others being passed in certain states.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Oh absolutely and they’ll likely try to punish those who try to save them

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 20 points 1 year ago

How about we go after the real threat, churches.

[–] mimichuu_@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SirStumps@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Kind of like Citizens United, has a better ring than "Politician pay offs".

We need to harm the children to help the children don't you understand?!!?!?!

Its not a bug, its a feature.

This woman is the literal devil...

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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
