Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying.

  I mean also the fact that they’re targeting youth specifically. I worry they will try to remove kids from homes and claim that parents who allow kids to transition are harmful to their own children.

  I’m just beyond not thinking worst case scenario at this point.

    I was being sarcastic.

    They will for sure use things like phobias/weaknesses to psychologically influence you to get you out of their way.

      I got the sarcasm. I was just stating that in addition to whatever information they get from notes, I worry they will target people for even allowing their children to receive or seek gender affirming care.

      Like they have been arguing for years that allowing your child to begin hormonal therapy before 18 equates to child abuse (while also arguing physical and psychological abuse is your unquestionable God given right as a parent).

      And I agree, they start with a focus on hormone blockers to get their foot in the door bc they know their base will support that.

      Then it very easily becomes oh well we also need to have access to all the information about any child that has seen a doctor for things like ADHD.

      When I say I’m beyond not thinking worst case scenario, I just mean I don’t think there’s really a scenario where this is somehow something everyone shouldn’t be worried about.

      There’s always a canary in the coal mine that becomes the scapegoat they use to get their foot in the door. Somehow people didn’t see that was the case with immigrants despite all the warning signs. They argued shit like this was overblown fear mongering.

      Now they’re moving the goal post a little further, and I don’t give a fuck if people want to tell me I’m crazy or fear mongering. They don’t fucking deserve the benefit of the doubt. They never did.

        They’re all about that Slippery Slope.
