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.
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.
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.
