We've gone from bigoted bills and bigoted comments, to hateful rants, to now open threats and harassment... And it's only mid-June. There's four more months between now and the midterms for things to get worse. More hatred fueled by more bigoted bills. More candidates running on a platform of rounding up and executing LGBTQ's. More "groomers" lies - or even a worse label being thrown around.
And armed to the teeth and threatening us are people who've killed before, and are itching to kill again. The same "fine patriots" who gave us Charlottesville and January 6 now want to go on a killing spree that leaves The Pulse in the dust.
The nation in general and LGBTQ's specifically are in the cross-hairs and being held hostage by people who think they are this nation, they speak for this nation, and they have the sole discretion to decide who can live and who can't. People with more guns than brain cells.
We are in truly horrifying and frightening times. Sick times. And who is to thank? The former "Republican party" (now the Republican terrorist cult), reich-wing hate media, a failed businessman and reality TV buffoon who occupied the White House, and his master Vlad the Impaler Putin.
I hope to hell the FBI, DOJ, DHS and all other relevant agencies are watching like hawks and ready to step in before we have blood in the streets... again.
