    1930s Germany wasn’t permanent either… unless you opposed the Nazis or were anything other than able-bodied, able-minded, white, not jewish or any other minority s,stematically tortured or killed. And people don’t learn from history because most survivors are those who hadn’t been persecuted.

      As a trans immigrant who fled the US, this is a pattern I’ve been noticing a LOT. Specifically people downplaying the effects just because it doesn’t affect them directly. As they say, the road to fascism is paved with people telling you you’re overreacting

      (Especially when the president signs an executive order telling trans people “we will find you and we will kill you”)

      Edit: case in point, look at the negative comments under this post
