This is a government of the absolute worst people.

T**nny today

F**got tomorrow

N****r next week

This is escalation to test the waters

Following the 1932 Prussian coup d'état and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, transgender movements, gathering places and institutions, such as the first homosexual movement, the Eldorado nightclubs, and the Institute for Sexual Science were dissolved, often by force. Both trans men and trans women were targeted under renewed enforcement of Paragraphs 175 and 183, and their transvestite passes were revoked or simply ignored. Books and texts relating to transgender experiences or medicine were destroyed as "un-German".

Notice a similar pattern? Nazis went after trans folks first. Don't let them dehumanize trans and non binary.

These fascist bastards are going to learn something about some of the rights we have as Americans to protect ourselves from tyranny if they keep going down this road.

Bigoted bitch

I hope she chokes on her vomit in her sleep.

We need to speak more regularly about how these people obviously have kompromat on them and are being actively blackmailed - no sympathy as they are garbage humans regardless, but these changes in stance are so swift and violent. These people often have a history of not caring or even supporting these issues, before they become over the top, performative hate mouthpieces - it's so obvious that they were basically told by Republican operatives at some point, "you're gonna do what we say or we are going to fucking end your pleasant life". Again, no sympathy there because the underlying subtext is that these people do shit horrible enough that they can be blackmailed with it. But this is Mace as recently as 2023:

"I'm pro-transgender rights," she told CBS News' The Takeout in May 2023. "I'm pro-LGBTQ." The Republican lawmaker made the comments while saying she opposed gender-affirming care for minors. "Sex change surgery, the hormone blockers that sterilize our children, we shouldn't be doing that," Mace said. "Now, if they want to take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity, or grow their hair out, or wear a dress, or wear pants, or do those things as a minor, those are all things that I think most people would support. Be who you want to be, but don't make those permanent changes when it's a child," she added.

Not a perfect position by any means, but centuries away from what she is today.

And here is after she was first elected in '21:

She was one of the only Republicans to sponsor the Serving Our LGBTQ Veterans Act in 2021, which proposed establishing a Center for LGBTQ Veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs. That same year, she even called for “transgender equality” while asserting herself as a pro-LGBTQ+ rights lawmaker. “I strongly support LGBTQ rights and equality,” Mace told the Washington Examiner. “No one should be discriminated against.” “It isn’t a black-and-white issue,” Mace added. “I do believe that religious liberty, the First Amendment, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist. I’m also a constitutionalist, and we have to ensure anti-discrimination laws don’t violate First Amendment rights or religious freedom.”

Methinks this Caitlyn Jenner doppelgänger doth protest too much.

When Sarah Palin came about, surely I thought she was the most craziest dumbest and racist female brunette politician ever.

Why are there more?!

How come the reporting is censoring the word?

The MAGA Cult holy grail is when they can keep their careers intact after shouting the N-word in the capitol and say that they don't care.

They're almost there. Keep sleeping, murica

The actual stripping of protections, the laws they are or will pass, those are bad enough already, but sometimes it feels like the worst part is just how brave these bigot shitfuckers have become now that their pet nazi is in power. They don't even have the decency to be afraid to fly their hate flag anymore. They were always shitty people, but at least they used to feel like the country at large would reject them for expressing their true feelings, hence all the pushback against "Cancel Culture." Now, though, they're not even afraid of ostriziation, much less anything more substantial.

I actually read the article and clicked on the link to the hearing back and forth and can't find what the anti trans slur was. Honestly I can't think of what an anti trans slur would be so I guess its possible I somehow missed it but I assumed it would be obvious.

This bigot had a trans-rights activist arrested for "Assault" right after shaking hands with them.

What a vile human.

Shouldn't she be hiding in a bathroom somewhere, faking injuries while trying to inspect other people's genitals?

God this bitch is so desperate to cling to her 15 minutes of fame.

That's rich, coming from a sandwich-maker that left the kitchen.

Someone deserves to be maced, that much is certain. May you go to hell, Mace.

What a cissy.

Some future documentarian's job just got easier.
