As a none USian …solidarity with LGBTQ+/queer communities, I can’t imagine how they feel and that’s the only statement that matters at the minute.

Absolutely terrified and abandoned
-
I live in an area that's listed as one of the top 10 friendliest places to be trans, and I'm still absolutely fucking terrified. The election was basically the point of reckoning for me recognizing I was trans, solely due to the sheer sense of dread I felt towards the potential hatred and violence I might be facing, without explicitly recognizing why I was feeling that way until I put 2 and 2 together.

When Trump starts taking guns, they'll be the first people he goes after, though.
-
Be interesting to see how that plays out cause the pro gun community says that won’t happen. I have no doubt it will happen though.
-
It will be conveniently ignored like Reagan's campaign against the black panthers,
-
There are groups whos whole MO is advocacy for exactly these types of gun owners, places like the SRA if you've ever heard of them. I won't claim they're massive, but they organize. Since trans folk suffer some of the highest rates of 'random' violence, and Trans POCs have the absolute highest rate of 'random' violence against them, they focus big on those group in addition to any group made to feel othered by 'traditional' gun culture.

It's from fascism 101. They don't want the population to be armed for obvious reasons.
-
Yeah those idiots are fascists who don't actually have principles

We should be giving guns to undocumented people too.
-
America, you're not well, are you?
-
What gave it away?
-
What gave you that impression?
-
Half of this country wanted a violent revolution. Seems the other half is happy to give it to them.

Trumps new head of the Department of Health, Robert Kennedy, has said he would like to create a list of every American citizen who takes HRT drugs or mental health meds and forcefully put them in labor camps to cure their mental illness.
Tell me how you protect yourself against that without a gun.
Guns aren't evil if your government wants to kill you

Guns are for pussies - 311

Say that in Texas.

So.... The maga crowd was right all this time? No way
-
MAGA wants to shoot all the minorities, the minorities want to protect themselves.
I know context is hard but you'll figure it out someday
-
Well no, the MAGA crowd wants to disarm everyone that smokes weed, is a "pedo" (i.e., just a normal trans person), or is otherwise different from them in any way, so basically the opposite of MAGA.
