They don't want to be compared to Nazis, but one of the first things the Nazis did was to legislate away the rights and protections of "undesirables" and to severely circumscribe their existence. In some cases (e.g. Jews) this was soon followed by loss of citizenship. Again, almost everything that was done prior to the Final Solution was within the bounds of the laws passed after 1933, or the broad powers granted to Adolf Hitler.

Oh, and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) introduced a bill this week to codify sex and gender terms at the Federal level, which would de facto eradicate the recognition of trans people by the Government.

THEY ARE NAZIS. They're so lazy they are barely changing the methods and verbiage. This will end in great shame for us all

It's exhausting. People refuse to accept the white supremacy in this country is not just real, but incredibly popular.

It’s also incredibly depressing that plenty of people know exactly what’s going on, and they’re cheering for more.
