I literally warned about this before the election, only to be ridiculed by half of the users here.
People here really have no idea how fast fascism can take hold of a society.
Your mistake continues to be believing Biden would have slowed down anything in this regard.
Also you can take your L for supporting the person who started the genocide if that makes you feel better about being "correct".
I think it is entirely reasonable to think that a Democratic administration would not be escalating this hard, this quickly. This is insane and terrifying on a level beyond anything the government has ever done with trans people, in recent memory.
Yeah, they were still gonna shift into a transphobic direction - but that would've taken a much longer time, and personally I value even months before oppression escalates, and I honestly don't know if they would've ever gone this far. I think at worst it would've ended up like Labour transphobia in the UK, this is beyond even that by a significant margin and presents a severe material threat to every trans person in the country.
Maybe it'll be better that it escalates this much this fast - maybe it'll be too much too soon and they're forced to back off on trans issues, whereas with the Democrats maybe it could've been slipped through gradually as 'normal' Maybe. That's not a certainty, I can't blame anyone for wanting fascistic oppression to be enacted slower. Especially being one of their first targets, I am savoring every single day without some kind of escalation.
