People Cannot Believe This "Terrifying" Post By Trump Is Real
"There’s no more hiding their ideology."

The second Trump-era administration has aggressively targeted the LGBTQ+ community — from declaring "only two sexes" to signing several anti-LGBTQ+ executive orders, dismantling DEI initiatives, banning words deemed "too woke" (such as gender, LGBTQ+, sex, and women, among others), and reinstating the transgender military ban.

Now, people are saying the message couldn’t be clearer after Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social linking to an article that featured a crossed-out Pink Triangle — a symbol Nazis used to label gay men during the Holocaust.

For those that might not know, during the Holocaust, the pink triangle was used as a badge to label gay men in concentration camps (similar to how Jewish people were labeled with yellow stars), many of whom suffered some of the most horrible abuses at the camps, according to survivors.

Under the Nazi regime, it's estimated that 100,000 gay men were arrested, with between 5,000 and 15,000 placed in concentration camps. Approximately 65 percent of those gay men in the camps died between 1933 and 1945. Even after the war, anti-gay laws persisted, and many gay individuals remained incarcerated.

In the latter half of the century, the LGBTQ+ community began reclaiming the symbol in reverse, most notably during ACT UP's "Silence=Death" campaign during the AIDS advocacy movement. Since then, it has served as a powerful reminder to never forget the past and acknowledge the continued persecution faced by LGBTQ+ people worldwide.

Given the symbol's history, many people found it deeply unsettling to see it crossed out in red ink and shared by the highest official in the United States. And whether Trump was aware of the symbol's significance or not, his decision to share it has sparked backlash from many.

When people start disappearing into camps, it's already too late; they don't stop at Jews, communists, and queers--they come for Dick & Jane and Jack & Jill next.

I had my suspicions when Trump pulled that wrinkled flag from "gay fans of Trump" out of his pocket during his first run for President.

He does like to keep his stubby-fingered little hands clean though, doesn't he?

"Plausible Deniability."
"His loyal minions and the adoring mobs must have misinterpreted."
"I was just being sarcastic."

Obviously not Presidential material.

If Trump keeps defying the judges, I hope the military will step in to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.

What could J. D. Vance do? Refresh his eyeliner and either fire our military or put them all under house arrest?

Let's discuss principles, not personalities (I mean among ourselves, at ground level -- when it comes to public figures with great influence, anything goes).

However, rational people -- despite the vagaries of language and the potential for misinterpretation -- may still aim to discuss topics in a non-insulting way (for the greater good, rather than momentary self-gratification), guided by the foundations of logical thought worked out by our long-ago ancestors, and further elaborated and fortified by such developments as the concept of logical fallacies.

You seem incapable of thinking in longer and more nuanced cadences. Well, that happens.

Also: @sonhouse, please stop calling other people morons.

Happy now?

Your "mastery" of American dialects is nearly amusing, but of course also wildly off-topic.

Don't you have some tiles to scrub? πŸ˜‰

Trump loves the gays.
He hates the gays.
Nobody trusts whatever he says.

Don't ask what your country can do for you.
Ask yourself what you can do for Trump.

Maybe some of the loyal opposition
are taking James Carville's advice
and not batting foolishly at every swarm
of mosquitoes Trump and his fall-guy /
local controller Musk unleash.

The Log Cabin Republicans seem to be lying very low.
I bet the rites at the Bohemian Grove
are weirder than usual this year.
