As a trans woman, cool. Real fuckin’ cool.
My worst fears got written down by someone else.
I don’t wanna get shot.
I wanna die of old age.

I hope there is some sort of practical pushback on this decision I can’t foresee, because absolute immunity from prosecution is exactly how genocide and civil wars are facilitated.
I doubt it will get as far as my example because of the complexity of enacting anything, but if someone awful is elected and they decide to execute trans, or arab, or left handed people, there’s no legal reason why they should consider the consequences of their actions.
The states now have to rely on the personal judgments and courage of everyone under the commander in chief, which is everyone, to refuse to carry out atrocities.
And I don’t trust everyone to make the right decision.

I happen to be moving to Europe for unrelated reasons, unironically you should consider something similar if you can. Fuck this place.

Fascism is spreading there as well unfortunately.
And will continue to do so as long as corporations have and continue gaining power to rival your governments. Manipulating public opinion is easy when you own all sources of information dissemination.
