They’re gearing up for their night of the long knives, where they take out a shitload of people, some of their own, and try and blame it all on an out crowd. In this case, trans and gays instead of communists, but they’ll; probably say the trans and gays are communist just for good measure.
They’re already building a concentration camp for the mentally ill. Fascism feels like it’s one after another but it’s syncretic oppression. The pro police killing without consequences, the surveillance, the jackbooted thugs arresting immigrants and sending them to a torture camp, the concentration camp for holding the mentally ill and homeless as they’re forced to do labor, the demands for increasing executions including for crimes that have traditionally not been executable offenses, the claiming trans people and drag performers are pedophiles, demonizung their opponents and treating protest as terrorism and rioting… That’s a mishmash of things the right has been doing for the past decade on and off, here and there, drastically accelerating in the past year. But once they have a tool they aren’t afraid to use it on others or expand its use. That’s how SWAT techniques began being used every day on people who may have filled out immigration paperwork a bit wrong.
In nazi Germany the concentration camps were originally created for criminals and political prisoners, jews were to be sent to walled ghettos and deported. Death camps were made for sex criminals such as trans people (they had declared trans people all to be sex criminals). Who they targeted was irrelevant, the goal was always to attack whomever they could use to justify further expansion of party and personal power. Often going above and beyond to impress those above them in the party.
Eventually, yes they will come for you, whoever you are, but by the time they start targeting random groups like Catholic priests, they’ll have already built the full industrial process of oppression.

Same playbook that is time tested. It’ll be the ‘mentally ill’ next, and that will be a very large blanket to throw around as it’s always been.
