    Trump says a lot of things which he has no plans of doing. The “We will remove [Insert ‘bad and scary’ word] from our country” is a classic

      I agree it’s a lot of talk when in comes from Trump, but then on the other hand it does seem like we’re not too many steps away from removing transgender people from the country. And as a trans person that freaks me the fuck out.

        I don’t blame you. I’m straight but I worry for the safety of my LGBTQ+ friends and family. The current and ongoing success of reactionary forces undoing decades of small victories is horrifying.

      Trump just parrots shit he hears in the Right-wingosphere, this is something Senator Rick Scott just posted on Twitter about Communists and Socialists not being welcome in Florida, which is just a dog whistle for Liberals/Democrats and any actual left wingers, and Governor Ron DeSantis has also been saying similar stuff.

      The governor of South Carolina was taped saying that he “can’t wait until the Democratic party is small enough that they can be hunted with dogs”, and by Democrats you have to understand that he means any sort of perceived left winger.
