Right-Wing Extremists Ramp Up Anti-LGBTQ Hate - All In - MSNBC

“When you present the existence of LGBTQ people as a threat to children, as a threat to the country itself—that’s putting lives in danger,” says Parker Molloy. Aired on 06/15/2022.

1. At what point will they be held to account?

Clearly, this is another way to yell fire in a crowded venue.

2. They want blood. They want to kill us or get us killed.

It's been ceaseless attacks upon us all year long. I really do think their goal is nothing short of getting us all killed.

But this is what I've been saying and shouting and screaming and repeating myself about all year. From Abbutt to DeSatan, from Fux to "Groomers", from draconian bills to hate speech, they have had a single-minded obsession with ruining or ending the lives of LGBTQ's - especially the T's - since the year started.

I honestly think they are so fucking obsessed with spilling our blood and eliminating us that if they were given a choice between "Drumpf returns tomorrow" or "All LGBTQ's will be killed," they'd prefer the latter.

I absolutely think they intended to kill LGBTQ's on Saturday in Idaho. Same way I think the Proud Incels wanted to hurt or kill drag queens in California this weekend.

I absolutely think Abbutt and DeSatan want to get LGBTQ's killed or drive them to suicide. Same with Fux and all the reich-wing hate media.

This is not a culture war anymore, if it ever was. It's now on the verge of violence and murder, and many of us feel like we're fighting for our lives.

3. They already started on January 6th.

Now that we've seen the video footage, it's clear that they intended to kill certain people. And some of those who prevented that did die. Looking back to Charlottesville, it actually started there. Since then, certain states have passed "hit and kill" bills - think I mentioned that last night. That's another reason why it's essential not only to elect Democrats at a national level, but equally important in the states. We've already seen how they attempted to invalidate voting results, not to mention make it more difficult for certain demographics to vote. These upcoming elections could be the most important in our history.

4. Charlottesville was the start, yes

I imagine the only "regret" that the domestic terrorists have over Charlottesville is they didn't kill more people. No question, they had intended to tear the city to pieces and leave blood in the streets. Looking back now, there's no question that was the start of the bloodshed.

January 6 was a massive escalation, fueled by their rage over losing their "favorite president." I have no doubt they had intended to not only disrupt the certification but had intended to kill anyone they saw as the "enemy": Pelosi, AOC, Biden, Harris, even Pence for refusing to do Drumpf's bidding.

Now that hate and bloodlust is aimed at LGBTQ's. Mind you, they don't hide they'd like to kill us all - LGBTQ's, people of color, liberals. But they'd totally fixated on us right now.

I believe at this stage every single election is now the most important in our history. 2020 was the most important for firing Drumpf and electing Biden. 2022 will be the most important to keep the Q's from running the House or Senate. 2024 will be the most important to keep the Democrats in the White House, and to stop Drumpf or DeSatan. This is how it's going to be for a while now.

You're right, though. It's not just important to vote for Democrats (and therefore human rights and democracy) at the national level, but the state and local levels as well. Stop these QOP lunatics from being state legislators, or governors, or mayors, or even winding up on the school boards. DeSatan and Abbutt and the others weren't created in a vacuum. They worked their way up. By voting against them at the local level, you stop them from climbing the ladder and becoming a national nightmare.

5. Secretaries of State seems to be the most important office

Since it's up to them to certify the votes, as in Brad Raffensperger of Georgia who TFG tried to bully, and so Republicans are running to ty to get control of those state offices.

And yes, these are scary times for all of us. It boggles the mind that anyone could possibly support a losing POTUS who was unqualified, knows no history and was in it only for what he could "get," has no concern for the people. He'll drop them in a second if they fail to follow his whims (as in VP Pence), and has done that over and over. Who in their right mind would support a hate monger who is in it only for the money he can raise - and now for the power...

[IngridsLittleAngel]

6. Absolutely. Any state with a QOP Secretary of State is at serious risk

Especially since many of them would rather push their agendas and do their jobs, and have said they refuse to certify any results they don't like. We run a very real risk of them holding states hostage by refusing to certify elections that Democrats win. Truly frightening, and sickening.

They support him because he gave them a green light to be as mean and bigoted and hateful as they want. They don't care that he's a business failure. They don't care that he took them for a ride by taking their money. They just care that he's made Charlottesville and 1/6 and terrorizing LGBTQ's okay.

Scary times indeed for all of us sane people.
