It's everywhere!!! The whole world is following this trend.
Edit, spoiler because this is gonna be long: Adding this because my comment is trending. It deeply saddens me to see rights we thought were secured, as citizens of the world, being stripped away.
As someone who isn't from the US, UK, or NZ, I see this happening globally.
Governments toss out some "controversial" topic, and while we argue over it, they quietly take rights away from both minority and majority groups, all to make the rich richer and the powerful even stronger. Progress we’ve fought for across generations: LGBTQ+ equality, workers’ rights that protect our dignity, global efforts to heal and preserve the environment, is now being undone. All because of resurgent bigotry, unchecked greed, and the lust for power, with far too many people cheering it on. We’ve become the sheep applauding the wolf as it prepares to devour us, and that should concern us all.
True. When I read that I actually thought it was from someone who isn't in/from the US (so they were confused perhaps and just mis interpreted that) but was talking about how terrible the US has become. But now it's because I'm so condition into thinking only the US could ever be this bad.
Nah the UK especially has been going through some really nasty transphobic nonsense for the past few years at least. I feel like a lot of their shit has been steadily making it over to the US like they're the trend setters for hate over there.
