After the assassination of Charlie Kerk, the conservative movement accelerated its war against the converted people. Many Democrats brokers kept their beating.

The alleged Charlie Kerk, Tyler Robinson, a man of the bond of independent states. But this did not prevent the right from seizing it Early misleading information and news He might have been in a relationship with his colleague in the room, transcending the extermination war against the transformers.
Saying that the right wants to exterminate the transformers is not excessive. Republican fanaticism has fed Rhetoric One of the initiatives designed to expel people passing through public life. But the conservatives are not satisfied with the converting people into fourth -class citizens. They want the public to see them as enemies of the state – like mental loyal people who pull the country to the moral abyss. The endless violence in America has become a useful tool in this effort. The right commentators are Pay the idea That the transit people are “VulnerableAnd responsible for a large percentage of mass shootings. Kirk, which was once The name People crossing “a waist finger in the middle of God”, flirting with this idea himself; At the moment of his killing, he had just ended Saying Someone “a lot” of collective archers were transient. The identity of the Association of Independent Countries – and his full colleague with the government – did not do something to reduce this novel.
This fascist movement to combat Trans, of course, is based on lies. Minnesota Star TribuneQuoting statistics from the archive of armed violence and the project of preventing violence, I mentioned In August that “less than 0.1 % of the suspects are widely widespread over the past decade, they have been determined as sexual transit” and 98 percent of the archers were men.
It doesn’t matter. Last week, Laura Lumer, one of The most influential Members of the far right, Declare“Transfer people are a threat to national security. Their movement must be classified as a terrorist organization immediately!” Ronnie Jackson, a member of the Republican Congress and former White House doctor, Gold in NewsMax To classify people converted to “local terrorists” who were “born from” to do evil and the institutional nature must be collectively. Donald Trump Junior Twitter survey ran The question is whether “Trantifa” is “the greatest local terrorist threat facing America.” (“No” was not an option.)
The current issue
The most concerned I mentioned The FBI discusses whether the criminal suspects will treat by being “violent extremists.” The Heritage Foundation, which formed the 2025 project initiative formed many Trump’s second term, further, Invite the FBI To create a criminal category called “violent extremism inspired by the ideology of transgender people.”
This moment requires solidarity with converting people. But it also requires some thinking about how we reach this terrifying place. And not only conservatives who need to examine their consciences now. Politicians, activists, and mediating media organizations assisted the basis for the right to attack. Unfortunately, the signs of this reflection are few and spaced.
It is not that the center was participating in the same Nazis speech as conservatives. However, the anti -fracture hysteria that has swept the United States over the past few years did not find much purchase without the participation of elite liberal political and media institutions. New York Times and Atlantic Ocean Spread story after story About the supposed risks of assuring the care of the confirmed sexes, especially for minors, and the concerns that disturbed the participation of people in sport. These amazing campaigns that wear more respectable clothes than Fox News screams may come Similarly Focus on myth.
Transversobes take this coverage – after all, then.Even the liberal New York Times“Was it worried, there should be something to happen, right? Times Her coverage It has been used Through a wide range of politicians, lawyers and courts to justify anti -two -time policies; Judge Supreme Court Clarence Thomas He was martyred in the paper seven times In his opinion in United States opposite SkrmettiOne of the most important attacks on transit rights in modern memory.

The influence of this crusade was predicted: transit rights, which appeared in the rise, have become polarized – giving critics and politicians, including Democrats, after that referring to this polarization as a sign of the supposed extremism of the movement. Then many of the two crossing centers made a scapegoat for Trump, his presidential victory for 2024.
These days, it appears that it does not pass a week without some prominent democrats suffering from transformed people – although the Trump administration has a greater and greater goal over their backs. California Governor Gavin New Zoom, who is seen as a pioneering pioneering competitor in the 2028 presidential election, announced badly in Podcast with Kirk that he is “very fair” for women and girls passing through competition with women and girls in the Association of Independent Countries in Sports. Former Chicago mayor Ram Emmanuel, who was also named in the 2028 mix, Refuse the idea of transit identity In a conversation with Megyn Kelly, he said: “Can a man become a woman? Oh, no.”
The hate wave did not stop after Kirk this tide. Last week witnessed the launch of the Searchlight Institute, a new democratic research tank chaired by former John Vitman assistant Adam Jinson. (Of course, the general introduction of the group took shape Wonderful profile in Times) Despite the intensification of its harsh campaign, Jentleson and Searchlight Cofounders have identified the rights of the rights as a major issue for Democrats to escape from it. Vice President Searchlight tré Easton, responds to Twitter to a question about whether Democrats should support anti -abortion candidates, books“Weapons, immigration, and converting people may have been better for this thought experience.”
Joints Claim In an interview with traffic lights He was actually trying to help the transformers, saying: “People who throw people converted under the bus are the ones who insist that Democrats are taking extreme positions, even if that causes the elections to the Republicans who are then torn by the Republicans.”
It seems that the implicit meaning here is that the Democrats can Turn a large tablet This says “Transversobia” on an ideal level-that there is a sweet spot of anti-discrimination of the periods that everyone can be satisfied with. (It is assumed, supposed, with the exception of the converted people themselves.) But last year’s events should put this idea to rest. Democrats and the middle Ownership They were forbidding themselves from converting people – in fact, the most important democratic figures such as Chuck Schumer Will I hardly say The word “trans”-and the only powers that have benefited are the forces of fascist anti-two-sided fascism. Not only can you play these types of games with people’s lives.
We hope that there will be an account one day about the decision of many Democrats to help persecute one of the most marginalized groups in America. But this will not help people converted now. The only thing that will happen is that we refuse to join the elite war of this genocide – and demand that politicians and media institutions do the same.
Do not let JD Vance control an independent press
On September 15, Vice President JD Vance attacked Nation While hosting Charlie Kerk Show.
In a clip seen millions of times, Vans allocated Nation In a dog whistle for his extreme right -wing followers. As expected, a torrent of abuse is followed.
For 160 years of publishing a fierce and independent press, we worked with the belief that the opposition is the highest form of patriotism. We have criticized both the owners of the Democrats and the Republicans – and we are happy that the White House is reading Nation. As long as Vans is free to criticize us and we are free to criticize it, the American experience will continue as it should.
To correct the record in Vans’s wrong claims about our financing source: Nation It is proud of the progressive, like you who support the independent press and will not be frightened by those in power.
Vans and Trump administration officials have also put their plans to repress widely against progressive groups. Instead of calling for national recovery, the administration uses Kirk’s death as an excuse for a coordinated attack on Trump’s enemies on the left.
Now we know Nation It is the forefront and the middle in their minds.
Your support today will make our critical work possible in the coming months and years. If you believe in the right to the first amendment to maintain free and independent press, please donate today.
Glory,
