Whaaaaaat? You mean the bigotry and vitriol of the GOP isn't limited to Mexicans, Hatians, Chinese, Guatemalans, Columbians, Cubans, Women, Gays, Transgender, Liberals, Muslims, Jews, Palestinians, Athiests, Americans wanting affordable healthcare, Americans wanting a living wage, Americans wanting affordable housing, Americans wanting renewable clean energy, Americans wanting a clean environment, immigrants, healthcare workers fighting a global pandemic, journalists, hecklers, and generally anybody who does not vote Republican?
Please add any groups that I forgot.
I think it's faster to list the people who aren't targeted; because it's ever more segregation all the way down. It's one 'other' group after the other, until it's just "rich, white, fat, lazy, male, narcissists who are me."
That poem's last lines should be "and then they came for my wife, but I was born correctly and so I understood. And then we came for me, and I didn't see it coming." Look at how donald turned on his co-conspirators when it came down to it all -- the entirety of othering pares down to narcissism.
Hrm what did you miss...
At this point, basically all academics and scientists of pretty much any field who are not connected to a conservative think tank or corporate astroturf advocacy group...
Teachers...
Black Americans...
The Homeless...
Anyone that wants to watch porn...
Communists, socialists, the educated, the poor, the homeless, vegetarians, people with hair coloring (except blond)
I'm grey haired, and definitely feel very threatened by Trump's incoming presidency.
Transgender is the correct term btw, the one you used is dated and derogatory
Thank you. I've corrected my post.
Don't forget military veterans, especially the ones that got captured and tortured, or sick or disabled as a result of their service. There's also treating Puerto Ricans like they're not part of the US.
I mean, they're a colony, so unfortunately until they get the opportunity to free themselves/be part of the USA proper, Puerto Ricans are by definitions sub-citizens. Have the dems ever expressed the desire to change that even?
Ah, turks maybe?
