Fascists always go after disabled people first because it’s harder for them to fight back and fascists are cowards.
Comment on Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI

The font was chosen in an effort to make documents easier to read for the vision impaired.
So It’s Republican policy that the government must not, even in the smallest way, make life any easier for disabled people? Of course.

Surely if you want to kill disabled people, it’s a good idea to start by making them feel shunned and their lives extremely difficult first, no?
That way, a lot of them die off, lose their power and voice in society, and are way easier to purge when the time comes!
You can’t build a Christiofascist Oligarchy without obliterating a few societal eggs, after all!

Its the culling of the herd. They feel they know best what the make up of the country should be. Its the same thing as eugenics. It makes sense if you think helping the disabled is a waste of resources.
How do you develop this point of view? How did people become convinced the h man was right? People are susceptible to propaganda. I heard the comments on popular sites about Taylor Swift being pro right after her last album was 25% astroturf. Heard from Phil Defranco on yt, there was a study.
Go look at the shit on truth social. I’ve met people that only look at the conservative part of the web, like fox news junkies of the last 25 years. They’re radicalized by astroturf, then hide in these echo chambers. Most of the discourse is directed by people with vested interest in political outcomes.
People I was friendly with were trying to say Charlie Kirk would have been a good president when he died. He was such a kind and selfless Christian, they say. I cant find anything defendable in his media output, but once you’re radicalized, its just about hitting the talking points. “Woke ideology.” “Trans mind virus.” “Communists and Socialists.” “Empathy is bad for our coutry.” Once you believe you’re surrounded by enemies, its easy to be manipulated by fear.
