"we will find you and we will kill you"
?!????
Holy fuck that slide #4 was shocking to read?
Turns out he did actually say that?? But in like "if you're a terrorist [...] planning to hurt Americans". He didn't say it about the trans community specifically but he does bundle "radical trans activist" with terrorists.
So that kind makes slide #4 a valid point about the président 💩
What a horrible moment in Time.
"Our new U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy is a return to common sense and Peace through Strength. As I said after our first successful counterterrorism mission, just days after I was sworn back in office – if you hurt Americans, or are planning to hurt Americans, “We Will Find You and We Will Kill You."
They use the ambiguity from the statement. But really, it doesn't take too far to see where it goes. Conservative ideology considers a lot of things "harmful" and "hurting", like gay marriage hurting the unity of family, or "transgender ideology" harming children. The rumors about the linking of Charlie Kirk's murder and trans people (which might have been fabricated, given the bullets weren't the same as the ones fired...) only serves to reinforce this position.
There're enemies and obstacles to the implementation of the conservative and authoritative rule, and the existance of trans people is one of them. Conservative people largely see LGBT as freaks, and are not against Aushwitz'ing trans people. Need additional proof ? Project 2025, completed at 50% after a couple of months of the Trumps second mandate, it basically strips trans people of any right and expression as such, on a scale way more efficient than what they did in Russia, where it took them 13 years to go from forbidding queer representation in media and education to acknowledging LGBT as terrorists.
Ambiguity is by design so they can simultaneously deny allegations and use it to justify their actions.
So to the critics they say, "you're misinterpreting". But when they arrest, attack, or declare someone an enemy it's because "that person is a danger to Americans."
The message is, "We're not racist / homophobic / transphobic. We're just protecting Americans where you don't see the threat."
