2. After all, the ground has already been prepared on both sides of the Atlantic, as people with disabilities are accused of being workshy shirkers and subjected to brutal regimes of assessment and coercion. A target has already been put on their backs.

Even the djt-friendly NY Post reported on this.
From Newsweek:
Plenty of verifiable things to hate Trump for.
That ain't how it works. Newsweek wdn't have reported it if it weren't true--yet you choose to reject that, & instd believe his sham performance.
Did u see vid in which he mocks reporter w/ cerebral palsy? Or read his commnts to nephew (Why not let your disabled son die?)?
shared djt's horrifying comment about the nephew's severely disabled son, now an adult, when nephew called bc funds for his care--establ. by djt + his siblings bc they cheated the nephew out of his inher.-- "Your son doesn't recognize you. Let him die, and move down to Florida."
A monster.
You probably (luckily) missed much of this bc you're not in the US, but article in People mag will fill you in, if you're inclined:
"Trump Refused to Be Seen with Military Amputees: 'Doesn't Look Good for Me,' His Former Chief of Staff Confirms"
And, his nephew +++
If we don’t protect everyone,
we will protect no one.
They will come after anybody who cannot work, this includes our elder and disabled communities; it includes people with terminal illness; family carers; anybody not regularly filling the government coffers.
Needs more than just standing with people to fight this

2016 #Trump said "I could shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters"
2024 voted, despite suggesting he could shoot democracy once and for all.
Now he is doing as he promised and was elected to do
