I’m increasingly annoyed at all these posts going "here’s how to lock down your comms from all the people coming after you for all the protesting you’re not doing.
People aren’t going to be coming after LGBTQ+ people “for the protesting” they are or are not doing.
They’ll be coming for them because they’re queer.
If you’ve even been paying a little bit of attention the magats have made it clear the two main minorities in their sights for the first round are immigrants and trans ppl.
They’ve already sent a US citizen to an El Salvadorian camp and shrugged and said sorry, can’t reverse that now.
If you think the rest of the queer minority are not in their sights you’re kidding yourself (and us)
Check your privilege.
I think you have comprehensively missed the point of this post.
This post: “people under threat here’s some things you can do to lower your profile, mitigate risk a little” (positive actions)
Your comment (initial & reply): " how did the US let this happen & why didn’t you fight it, why aren’t you fighting it now"
That assumes a) the people most under threat are the same people who should be/can be fighting it b) that they didnt before the election and c) that the actions you prescribe will be effective.
So. Are your assumptions valid and do they actually add anything by voicing them ?
I know many in the US queer community worked tirelessly to prevent Trump being elected (assumption b) but now they really do need to get as low profile as possible, because there is a pogrom coming. Straight white people can afford to protest, the numbers are there. Minorities in small numbers not so much. Easy pickings.
