Unfortunately it takes backbone, something this country is sorely lacking lately. When they come for your neighbor and you say nothing soon you’ll be next.
Seduce people into bigotry, it's easy when there's a reservoir of nasty people. Next they'll declare their enemies to be witches. It worked in Salem. It worked with Joe McCarthy. For a while. Eventually people wise up, hopefully soon enough.
They focus on trans issues, a TINY population subset, as a red flag to outrage and bog down in bathroom/sports politics. Of course all rights must be protected, but their goal is to distract while they go after every federal dept, employees, and attack the foundations of representative democracy.
Trans rights should have been an “Oh yeah, that too” after black rights and women’s rights. We cannot as a society keep going back through the cycle of Othering and suspicion.
When I see these women and girls smiling near him, my stomach rolls, my heart sinks, as we know mega right-wing churches have contributed to this attack on female intelligence.
Don't think for a second that Republicans/Trump is only using these vile intimidation tactics on the Transgender community, or the Gay Community, or the vulnerable immigrants. He will continue to proceed to every segment of society to gain complete control. It's what dictators/fascists do. CHILLING!

Republicans act then let the courts work it out.
Democrats let the courts work it out then it’s too late to act.
