    I’m thinking the next big leap? Gov looks at all social media for what political side you’re on. Then you’ll get thrown in camps. This is maybe year 4 of Trump or whatever comes after him in a rigged election. Maybe an “emergency” skip the elections this time thing.

    No, the next big leap is transgender people being rounded up. Trans people have been saying this, myself (an Australian) included, since before the election. He’s already made it difficult to impossible to leave the country if you’re trans. Not only are trans people being denied passports in their chosen gender, but those people are being denied them in their gender assigned at birth too. They’re ignoring court orders over it as well.

      I’m not so sure. Don’t forget RFK appointed David Geier to “cure US the autism epidemic.”

      David worked with his father, a doctor, on a supposed ‘cure’ for autism. They experimented on neighborhood autistic kids in their basement. Their hypothesis is that since autism has links to gender dysphoria, that hormones must be at fault. They began giving the children injections of Lupron, a hormone suppressant that can cause chemical castration over time.

      They were both charged with endangering minors, David was charged with practicing medicine without a license, and his father’s medical license was revoked.

      Fun fact: Autism Spectrum Disorder was rebranded from Asperger’s when the DSM-5 was updated in 2013. They decided to finally drop the name of Dr. Hans Asperger, the German scientist who experimented on ‘autistic psychopaths’ under Nazi guidance.

      That’s 1 million people if you take out the 13-17 demo. That would take a year with the new 200 billion budget. Then they have to find a new target.
