To the camps, I think?

I'll be there once he gets to the gay part of the list.

Gays have a year or two before they are swept into the camps I think. First on the list will be immigrants and trans people in red states. That phase will begin in January. That will take 18 months at least. If they are as incompetent as they've been in the past, this phase could take the entire four years until his 3rd term.

Think they can change their last names and blend in if they are lucky?

I think people who can pretend to be cis, straight white conservative christians have the highest chance of long-term survival in red states.

Great now people need to go to church and hang out with those two faced grifters. Paying 10% to blend in.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Most "Christians" have never even cracked open a bible, much less stepped foot into a church. Lie about it. Remember, you're a Christian now so you're forgiven. If you don't sin, then JJ died for no reason.

I get the feeling that when neighbors turn on each other not going to a church is going to be on the lost. Certainly lower than trans and LGBT folks but it will be there.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

You may be right. But church people can be nosy and judgy. It's not a safe place to be repeatedly visiting in my opinion.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes but history has taught me if you are not part of the clique you are a target for when things go wrong. It's like going back to Salem. They literally blame gays and immigrants for hurricanes now.

Not after fascists fill the ranks of the NSA and mass-surveillance state apparatus. I guarantee that if you're a teenager they have already captured enough data about you to reliably predict who's liberal, gay, trans, etc with a very high degree of accuracy; doesn't really matter though, as fascism will treat every false positive with extreme prejudice anyway.

Only the kids who go on the offensive and proactively blend in with fascism will remain hidden, if they keep it to themselves and avoid typing it into a phone or computer.

Guess everyone here is screwed already. Where god I hope this will not be as Trump foretold.

Yeah I'm sure I'll be right after. I would like to avoid it all...

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
