Trump Is Expanding His Masked Thugocracy

Two weeks ago, mass shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis shocked the country. On Wednesday this week, Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk was killed in front of a few thousand students he addressed in Utah. At this event, they were also mental that his wife and two young children.

Both events were horrifying, both were both at once, and cynically clung to President Donald Trump and his allies in violent political and media ecosystems as reasons to stomp for even more civil liberties of people.

In the footsteps of the murder determine All transgender Americans are both mentally ill and thus are not allowed to own weapons. In a few minutes of Kirk’s death, if the killer is still at freedom and without evidence that there were motives of the shooter Use the full force of the state According to at least some of Trump’s more open supporters, eradicate the left threat. Some talked about the civil war; Other need to “destroy” the people they see as “anarch-terrorists”. In A Circumcounory Address For the nation from the Oval Cabinet, Trump has accused the radical left in political violence in this country and promised to crack the organizations, which, without providing names and evidence, is funded by this violence.

The answers to both the Minneapolis and the murder of Kirk, of course, are unusually selective readings of recent history.

The US had already had several hundred mass pictures, and as I write it according to Archive of violence in violence15 of them took place 13 days after the events in Minneapolis. None of these hundreds of mass shootings, except for the exclusion of Minneapolis, made GOP or Trump propose significant weapons control laws. In fact, in January 2024, candidate Trump responded to similar shooting at Iowa school, reporting the mournful community what they “have to overcome this“

In recent years, several high -profile political killings or attempts to murder, including the murder of Minnesota Melissa Hortman (Democrat) and attempted murder of her husband, Nancy Pelosi, who was critical of the hammer in October; Nevertheless, in these cases, the grand goop remained largely silent, and Trump and his minions even mocked the victims or joke about the motives.

But in one case in which the transgender was identified as a shooter, the administration jumped into battle More than 2 million peopleHow mentally ill and deny them the rights that are constantly provided and protected for almost any other adult category in the United States.

After shooting in Minneapolis, the right -wing media claimed that transgender people are statistically more likely. This is nonsense. A A draft prevention of violence At Minnesota, the Hamline University estimated that transgender people were being held less than 1 percent of mass shootings.

Let’s be clear: you can believe in the pristine rights to the weapon owner, like most Republicans, or you can believe in reasonable rules of control over weapons as to do it Most Americans; But what can’t do is choose which categories People who are not criminally convicted, deserve these rights. The state can ban a particular person from weapons on the basis of their criminal history – it has long been a legal precedent. But it is impossible to offer “thoughts and prayers” when heterosexual, gender, white male goes to the murder, and then offers bans on the board for all transgender Americans when a transgender man does the same.

As soon as one forbids the possession of the weapon not from what a person did, but from the gender identity of this person, as soon as one revokes the group as a mentally ill, one opens the door of a pink star -to celebrate the category of people for discrimination and worse.

If all transgender people can be identified as a mentally ill shooting based on one restless person, then what should be stopped to return to times when sexuality became legal to ban people from federal work or teaching or any array of other jobs? What is to interfere with the government impose “treatment” and “treatment” and “or change of mental health” and imprisonment – or any other marginalized group? Considering Trump’s inclination to view all things of the 1950s (or on this issue of 1850s) How to make America again big, hardly a jump to imagine Lavender is scary From the kind, which Dwight President Eisenhower launched in 1953, with his executive order 10450, and resulting in thousands of men and women from work.

If, as it seems, Trump uses Kirk’s murder to initiate the broad repression of civil liberters in groups and people he views as “radical left”, it is also a more useful political landscape that has already been damaged by Trump’s regime, which has seen huge expansion in ordinary residents who are just trying to go.

A week ago today, Trump signed an executive order that is finedState sponsor (s) of illegal detention“

Now you know that the saying is not to throw stones into the glass house, right? The last time I looked at the United States in the US worked in stts and hornbeams in cities across the country, opening concentration camps with nicknames such as alligator alcatraz and deportation department, as well as departed in South Sudan, Eswatini and El Salvador. Last time I looked stories – a dozen detained immigrants who sleep on the floor all day and ask food, water and medical care as they continue to remain folded The premises are never intended to keep the detainees. The last time I looked, Trump unleashed the military in Washington, Colombia County, To help ice Hold such high security threats as DOORDASH delivery workers (including many with work permit), and repeatedly threatened to announce “war” in Chicago, at the time defended its rhetoric And he was pleased with his escalation attacks on cities and immigrants who forced the country to flourish.

In another scandalous emergency ruling showing how morally the Roberts Court is banking, the Supreme Court this week green is illuminated Wholesale racial profiling of sanatories across the country. Every other day Armed men threw a car In Van Nouise, the suburbs in the San Fernando Valley. While random cases released their functions of the video telephone, these masking cowards dragged the passengers of the car, including a noticeably pregnant woman, outside, knocked them to the ground, and, from their heavy weapons, constantly sent them to their heads, arrested them. More over the belts when they work to meet with Steven Miller’s daily quotas.

Later, a friend of the residents told local media that two of the three in the car were legal permanent residents and the third was a US citizen.

What we see on American streets leader Politics is the law of a strong man and a rule of uniform, masked tugocracy. We see that federal agents are essentially acting as paramilitaries to perform the rigid fantasies of those who go to the government. Now, as the administration seems ready to use the horrifying killings of children in Minneapolis and Charlie Kirk in Utah, since the rays involved in a much broader attack on civil liberties, the sphere of this violence, may well expand. Trump is and has always been a political arson. The events of the last two weeks gave him the perfect coating for light more fires.
