The Trump administration is preparing to designate transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder, two national security officials tell me…

The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a “threat group,” but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of “violent extremism.”

Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau’s new threat category, “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (NVEs).

    It won’t stop there. This war will affect everyone until it ourobouros itself into killing its own just like every fascist govt does when things start to fall apart.

      Fascism makes the majority miserable, so the regime must blame others. Eventually, this becomes a circular firing squad where they take each other out. Unfortunately, ordinary people will always get caught in the crossfire.
