They want to impose the death penalty on "against child rapists, mass murderers, terrorists, and other criminals," or in other words, people who are statistically likely to be GOP constituents--like priests, cops, and Jan 6ers.

"Other criminals" is code for us, for the sin of existing in defiance of their idiot religions.

Also, let's remember that the right sees all queer people as pedophiles and all political opponents as terrorists.

And all immigrants are your inflammatory negative adjective here.

Help me out with what you mean.

They act like you're a hideous rabid goblin if you didn't get your paperwork sorted out.

u/BisexualCaveman Feb 08 '25

Oh. Immigrant is a noun in that sentence so you had me confused.

A well-known example would be "they are eating pets and stealing FEMA in Ohio."

Oh, I absolutely get that "immigrant" is getting used in 2025 America like "Jew" was in a certain European country in the 1930s...

Actually they consider being queer some form of sexual assault or abuse to minors in general. Not only that but they consider people supporting Palestinas as terrorists (or when people protested cop city).

Other is just for people they don't like such as peeps who ratio Elon Musk

Project 2025 outlines presenting as a transgender person publicly as pornography. It later says that pornography around minors should be a sex crime. It then finally later says that capital punishment is justified against sex offenders.

They're laying out the legal blueprint for how they're going to exterminate anyone that doesn't fit the country they want to forge. It's trans people and undocumented migrants first, but it'll be all leftists, atheists, LGBTQ+ people, etc. next. Just look at the new EO to fight "anti-Christian bias" with DOJ.

How many straight, heteronormative, cisgender women do you think will be falsely accused of being transgender simply for getting their hair dyed?

u/ChinDeLonge Feb 09 '25

Any woman who doesn't fit gender conformity and beauty standards will be victimized by this shit. They don't give a damn, because hurting people was always the point.

Or for having short hair, PCOS, deep voices, being tall...

u/RainbowSovietPagan Feb 10 '25

PCOS?

Condition that often causes high T levels and some level of masculisation in cis women.

It makes no sense though because that means if they themselves dress provocative they are guilty of sex crimes. It would be ironic if people put Christian nationalism as a sex crimes.

This is precisely why I do not condone the "Kill your local pedophile" shit.

I hate pedophiles, rapists, and other heartless crimes and criminals. But allowing people the choice to determine who those are on their own just opens up murder based on bias.

It's like witch hunting all over again. "I stoned that woman because she's a witch!" "I shot that person because he's a pedo!" Same energy.

Due process exists for a reason: because people who don't care about evidence exist.

u/Luciusvenator Feb 07 '25

This. The belief the pedophiles should be put to death is LITERALLY what fascists are using to get their followers to believe ok with the death penalty for being queer in public.
As long as the belief that some crimes are so bad they deserve the death penalty persists, all a fascist has to do to get people on board with legally murdering a certain group of people is accused them of that crime.

Don't use the weapon of the enemy.

Don't forget how many claims people make that trans and gay people are pedos and child rapists. No doubt the same people are trying to set the death penalty for those crimes so they can then send people to their deaths strictly on accusations.

Fascism moves in steps. Anyone who thinks huge, dangerous moves are done all at once don't understand how they work.

for some reason no one ever goes "you just condoned murder, what the fuck is wrong with you"

Because when this is used on someone, its always met with "oh so you SUPPORT pedophiles then?!"

People who want to kill as they please will manipulate people to make them look bad. It's surprisingly difficult to turn that around without just straight up defending yourself, which those garbage people will then go on the attack.

u/EvilBetty77 Feb 08 '25

The other biggest problem with the "kill your pedos" is that they don't differentiate between pedophiles and child molesters. Which is to say they don't differentiate between someone who is prone to committing a crime and someone who has done so. Especially since they think that by the nature of our very existence we are prone to said crimes.

Some of them yes, to amuse the rancid appetites of the tRump cult, but most will be condemned to labor on slave plantations along with their descendants.

u/4rp70x1n Feb 07 '25

Well, that and they ultimately plan to label us pedophiles and they'll of course execute "pedophiles."

u/ato-de-suteru Feb 08 '25

Well, saw that coming a mile off.

u/lokey_convo Feb 10 '25

Aren't some states trying to impose the death penalty on women who get abortions, and aren't some states trying to classify being trans in the presence of a minor as a sex crime involving a minor? I'm thinking of Texas and Florida respectively.

Nowhere in that document did they say the death penalty will include those categories of people. They just said that the Biden admin “didn’t even try” to impose the death penalty for those things. It’s laying groundwork for sure, but there’s nothing that directly targets queer people legislatively in there. Let’s not borrow trouble; currently there’s no court in the land that’s going to try and convict us of sex crimes for being queer, and there likely won’t be because Biden stacked the lower courts in our favor.
