Four trans Americans claiming refuge abroad tell Io Dodds why they no longer feel safe in their home country, from fears of martial law to being arrested in changing rooms
Fascism never went away. The focus of it just came home and i am sorry. 20 years ago we could still agree that the enemies were “the terrorists” and simply watched while our government bombed the ever living shit out of “barbarians”. The amount of bloodshed that we as a western society have perpetrated should have really made us look at ourselves but we did not, because we still had these great values we pretended to matter at home.
Now autocracy rises and gleefully builds on the fascism that has been festering unchecked.
