Fucking fascists always come after the most vulnerable members of society first and I have a growing fear that Trump and MAGA will figure out a way to put transgender people in camps. Then, as part of a broader push on such things, regular old kooks like me will somehow “vanish” into the aether.
And, yet, here’s the thing — all these fucking MAGA influencers who think they can just magically turn America into Nazi Germany forget a few important things. First of all, the United States isn’t Germany in 1933. We’re not nearly as natively militaristic, we’re far more diverse both politically and ethnically and we’re have a democratic tradition that Germany did not have.
As such, even if Trump and MAGA used the Kirk murder as a pretext to attempt to turn us into a Nazi Germany-like state….I just don’t see how it would not simply cause the country to collapse into civil war or revolution.
It would be taking things to a quantum level higher to turn ICE into the SS and use it to abolish the center-Left opposition. People just wouldn’t stand for it. The country would collapse into chaos.
But I will admit that the US is careening into a very dark future. They say you go bankrupt gradually then all at once and I’m afraid that the Kirk murder is will be seen as yet another marker on our way to civil war or revolution.
