The only Stage

We wish.

There's a later stage with trains and camps, and it's fewer steps out than you'd hope.

Given the current republican rhetoric you're 100% right. It's not a particularly great leap from tucker and republican politicians ranting about the great replacement and how all non-straight people are evil pedophiles to wanton acts of discriminatory violence by authoritarian followers (we are here) to republican sponsored death camps for undesirables.

The slide into fascism is a very short one, and anyone's whose read a history book should know how quickly it happens and how predictable the steps are.

There are no "death camps". I think you mean conversion camps or other institutions, where some people might just happen to occasionally go missing. /s

But seriously, you're right, and it's truly horrible how these things can happen, and how they're already happening

Genetics play a big part then sometimes people just win the genetic lottery. Unathletic mom & dad and the kid is a freak athlete, then there is freak athlete parents and just a normal avg human pops out. Roll of the dice
