After the murder of Charlie Kirk, the conservative movement accelerated his war against the Trans -League. And too many central Democrats have retained the transition.

The alleged killer Charlie Kirk Tyler Robinson is a man from CIS. But it did not interfere with the right to keep Early misinformation and news The fact that he may have been in a relationship with his trance, the room, having escaped the war for extermination against the trances.
Saying that the right wants to destroy the trance is not hyperbole. Republican fanatics fueled lot Initiatives aimed at expulsion of people from public life. But the conservatives are not satisfied with the transformation of trans-people into fourth-grade citizens. They want the public to regard them as enemies of the state – as a mentally bad savage that pull the country into a moral abyss. Endless violence in America in this effort has become a useful tool. Right -wing commentators pushing the idea what is trans -wood “prone to violence“And responsible for the big share of mass shootings. Kirk, which once called Trans -wood “throbbing the middle finger to God”, torn himself with this idea; At the time of his murder he just finished say Someone who “too many” mass shooters was trans. CIS identity Robinson – and the full cooperation of his roommate with the government – did nothing to restrain this plot.
Of course, this fascist movement to combat Trans is definitely based on lies. Star Tribune MinnesotaReferring to statistics from the violence and the draft archive of violence, report In August, “less than 0.1% of the suspected mass shoots in the last decade was defined as a transgender” and that 98 percent of the shooters were men with Tsiznda.
No matter what. Last week Laura Lumer, one of the most influential Members of the extreme right, declared“Trans -wood is a threat to national security. Their movement should be immediately classified as a terrorist organization!” Ronnie Jackson, Republican Congressman and former White House, went on Newsmax To indicate the trance “domestic terrorists” who were “bred left” to make evil and must be in the mass. Donald Trump is younger. launched a survey on Twitter Having asked whether the “stern” was “the greatest threat of internal terror with which America is in front of America.” (“No” was not an option.)
Even more anxious, Ken Klippenstein’s investigation journalist report What the FBI discusses whether the trans -criminal suspects should be treated as “nihilist violent extremists”. Heritage Fund whose project 2025 amounted to Trump’s second term, went even further Calls in the FBI To create a criminal category called “Transgender Ideology, inspired by violent extremism.”
This moment requires solidarity with the trance. But it also requires reflection on how we got to such a horrific place. And now not only the conservatives must study their conscience. Politicians, activists and media institutes helped to lay the basis for the right. Unfortunately, the signs of such a reflection are small and far between them.
The point is not that centrists are involved in the same Nazi as conservatives. But the anti-Transa hysteria, which has swept through the US over the past few years, would never have found such a purchase without the participation of elite liberal political and media institutes. The New York Times and Atlantic have publish history after history about the alleged danger confirming gender assistance fear About the participation of Trans -people in sports. These scary companies can come dressed in more respectable clothes than in Fox News but they have similar grounded in myth.
Transphobes operate this coating – after all, when “Even the Liberal New York Times“Is there something concerned, something, right? Term Coating has used in the wide range of politicians, lawyers and courts to justify policy against Trans; Justice of the Supreme Court Clarence Thomas referred to paper seven times In his view in US against Skrmetti. One of the most significant attacks on the trans -right in recent memory.

The effect of this crusade was predictable: the trans -right, which seemed to be in the rise, became polarized – allowed by reasonable and politicians, including the Democrats, to indicate this polarization as a sign of the alleged extremism of the movement. Then many centrists did the trance the goat is scared For the victory of President Trump in 2024.
These days, it seems that it does not pass more than one week without the Democrats who beat the trance – despite the fact that the Trump administration has a great and big goal on the back. California Governor Gavin News, who is considered a leading potential contender for the 2028 presidential election shame declared In the podcast with Kirk, that the trans -women and the girls were “deeply unfair” to compete with women and girls in the CIS. Former Chicago Mayor Ram Emmanuel, whose name is also in the mixture of 2028, dismissed the idea of trans -dentity Fully in conversation with Megin Kelly, saying, “Can a man become a woman?
The post kirk of the wave of hatred did not stop this rush. Last week, a new democratic analytical center, led by former John Fetterman Adam Gentleson, was launched. (Naturally, public introduction of the group took the form splashes profile in Term.) Even if the right -wing liquidist campaign, the gentleman and its co -founders determined the rights to broadcast as a key issue from which the Democrats run away. Vice-President of the Penal Campaign, answering Twitter to the question of whether the Democrats should support candidates in the fight against abortion, wrote“Weapons, Immigration, Trans -People in Sport would probably be better for this experiment in this thinking.”
Joint floor state In an interview with Road light The fact that he actually tried to help trance -people, saying: “People who throw trances under the bus are those who insist that the Democrats occupy maximalist positions, even if it makes them lose the elections to Republicans who then broke these rights.”
Seems that Democrats may seem here Turn the big dial This speaks of “transfobia” on it at some perfect level-what is a sweet spot of discrimination against the trance with which everyone can be satisfied. (Everyone is supposed to be trans -people.) But last year’s events had to put this idea to rest. Democrats and Centrists have Removing from Trans -Leaf – random, main democratic figures such as Chuck Sumer barely tell The word “trance” is the only forces that have benefited,-is the forces of fascism against the trance. You can’t just play similar games with people’s lives.
Hopefully, if -it will count on the decision of the number of Democrats to help in persecution of one of the most marginalized groups in America. But this will not help the trance -greene now. The only thing will be, the rest of us refuse to join this elite war for extermination – and the requirement for our politicians and media institutes to make the same.
Don’t let JD Vance silence our independent journalism
September 15 Vice -President JD Vance attacks Nation During the hosting Charlie Kirk’s show.
In the clip, seeing millions of times, Haens highlighted Nation In a dog whistle its extremely right followers. Predictably, the abuse of abuse follows.
During the 160 -year -old publication, independent journalism, we acted with the belief that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. We were criticized by both democratic and republican owners – and we are glad that the White House is reading Nation. As long as Vnes is free to criticize us and we have freely criticized it, the American experiment will continue as we should.
To correct the entry on the false requirements of Vance about the source of our financing: Nation The readers are proudly supported as you who support independent journalism and will not intimidate the authorities.
Representatives of the Vnes and Trump administration also outlined their plans for extensive repression against progressive groups. Instead of calling for national healing, the administration uses the death of Kirk as a reason for a coordinated attack on the enemies of Trump on the left.
Now we know Nation is the front and the center on their mind.
