    I’m just saying that I think this particular fear you have is roughly equally likely. Maybe the likelihood of it happening in the US is double or triple than the UK, but I think that would put the likelihood only from 0.01% to 0.03%, so basically the same.

    Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.

      Did you listen to the King’s speech this year? I doubt it.

      Did you know that the King’s speech lays out government policy? I also doubt it.

      Did you know that the King’s speech this year included making conversion therapy illegal? I really doubt it.

      Meanwhile, in the U.S., there’s project 2025 and prominent republicans literally calling for trans genocide.

      Yeah, remember how that happened in Germany in the 1930s when queer people were put in camps and then there was a big riot and they all got freed? No, neither do I.

      Remember how it wasn’t even legal to be queer in America until 2003? I do.
