I guess it wasn’t just about “protecting the kids.” Cruelty is the point. The republican motto.

All amended birth certificates are to be reverted. This is absolutely gut wrenchingly terrifying for all trans people.

A lot of people have been calling them that for a while though. In my memory Bush admin was called fascistic by leftists, I'm sure vietnam war was similar and so on, so I disagree about it being long over due.

I think a bigger point should be that a majority of people for a long time didn't even know what fascism is beyond "bad ~~people~~ germans that hated jews". I think after Charlottesville it got a bit better, but still not good enough. And because of that just calling them fascist will not work on people who don't already agree with us.

What I mean is for more central third parties to make a formal statement.
