Attacking trans people isn't a distraction that fascists are using to hide what they are up to, transphobia is a core part of their ideology and enforcing patriarchy is an important step in creating the world they want

Seems like a both situation to me. But... that's not necessarily the point. They are attacking trans people, and once they've destroyed you, they'll get some other group. They are also using the attack on trans people and the "danger" trans people pose as a distraction.
It's the whole "Christian family values" thing. It requires everyone in society to be cishet, and for women to be baby making machines, subservient to men.
It /is/ however a distraction tactic for the other group responsible for the state of the world: the wealthy. They’re only too happy that their fascist pets are into eugenics and patriarchy.
Exactly! And there’s no bigger threat to patriarchy than the existence of trans women. For people convinced that men are in every way superior to women, AMAB people rejecting manhood in favor of womanhood, threatens their entire world view.
Yep. This isn’t a bait and switch.
The goal is that straight white males rule America and beyond. If you’re not covered by that description life is going to get worse for you.
I would also add “Christian” to that but it’s in name only.
Patriarchy and their twisted idea of gender roles. It drives them insane to think about gender as socially constructed. If they accept the social construction of gender, they could lose their “man card.” (They seem terrified of being seen as non macho.)
Indeed, the distraction role is to the benefit of nihilist capitalists who fund fascism, be it as a distraction from their own looting of social wealth, or as a last resort against having their loot expropriated, or as a means to winning a place in the court (a lot of that in the inauguration)
It's only a "distraction" if you don't believe trans people matter, if you believe we're disposable, our rights are unimportant, we take unnecessary space.
Fascists are clear about their intentions, trans extermination is on that list. We're not a distraction, so pay attention or fuck off.

Morrison like Trump is using trans children & women as a conservative rallying call to arms against progressive changes in society.

Just because the fash have other, bigger targets on their list, doesn’t mean wiping out Trans people isn’t a key part of their agenda.
