In this new round of American-style fascism, our government has been coerced into being taken over by an extreme right-wing contingent of American political life: Christian nationalists, white nationalists, neo-liberal economic extremists (which used to be called plain old conservative economics), conspiracy theorists, and narcissists. These people have an extreme and unbalanced worldview that flows from their political, economic, social, and emotional wants and needs instead of the fundamental human rights of citizens in a democracy.

Beyond the sociopolitical convenience of having a group to scapegoat and channel political action against, there is a genuine conservative hate for those that do not conform to general conceptions of gender and sexuality.

It's not actually even the slightest bit different from the Nazis, you know. They started with trans people too.
