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.

It literally does not matter what the truth was, they have created a very obvious decoy to implement fascist protocols to lock our country down and start taking control over everything from media to industry (what little there is.)
The people who want this are a minority in the US population, much smaller than even the 30% or so that lean right or voted for Trump, however they carry the most power because they are zealous, armed and united, they stand strong and steady with each other even if it’s out of sheer stupidity, they also know on some level that the “trans menace” is just a propaganda poster and they don’t care, they want Daddy to spank everyone and know that there is no such thing as “law” or “rights” in this kind of stage. There never was, the only thing keeping marginalized people safe has always been just a social contract.
Our social contract has eroded because most of the rest of the population has spent too much time desensitizing themselves by scrolling 16 hours a day, seeking comfort and escape and de-socializing from each other, abandoning not just community but abandoning interpersonal lives entirely, too scared to talk to the opposite sex, too scared to make friends, too scared to change habits.
The “active” left is still broadly too caught up hand-wringing, performatism, crying about Epstein files, and believing that “something is going to happen” by itself, that some charismatic, socialist leader is going to appear and lead everyone to a better world, or the most delusional here literally believe we’re going to have an armed revolution and somehow beat the military and the millions of armed conservatives, and somehow will still live next to them in peace after we win.
We’re utterly fucked.
Your last points are especially true and it’s what I’ve been mentally wrestling with for some time.
An armed revolution is what the left wants, but – and I’m speaking hypothetically here – what happens to the first person to participate?
They attempt to exercise the amendment on one of the elected officials causing problems, and what immediately happens afterwards is they either get domed by the Secret Service, or they go to prison or some black site to be wiped off the face of the Earth. And everyone back home becomes an armchair analyst and says “Well, he did this and that wrong, that’s why it didn’t work/he got killed/incarcerated, what an idiot.” And then we’re back to the mass bystander effect we’re stuck in now.
The only possible solution I can think of is a national strike, but there’s not nearly enough pissed off people to pull it off.
