JFC. I hope people understand that this means they absolutely will start rounding people up at some point in the not-so-far future. Take any possible defensive actions as needed please...
That's a bit of a leap. Make preparations, but don't panic. Our allies in the world would not sit idly by if the US criminalized being trans and started arresting people based upon that.
You really think that they're going to imprison all trans people? I just don't see it happening.
There are a lot of things people said they "dont see happening" that have happened under trump and elon. RFK jr has already discussed rounding up people with ADHD and depression in concentration camps. They already have concentration camps for imprisoned immigrants in Panama and El Salvador has offered prisons up as well.
They have been threatening everyone who doesnt support them with jail time, including AOC simply for explaining to immigrants what their rights are. Preventing this kind of thing from actually happening relies on the courts and judges throwing out such cases, but given many judges have resigned, the only people that will soon be left will be aligned with their interests
It might not happen but it doesnt hurt to be prepared for it, because it also might happen
Neither did the Jews. Neither did the japanese Americans.
There's precedent for it all up and down history, but the U.S. has thrown people into "cages" of one kind or another for quite some time
