Fair Warning: You Could Be Part of the Next Discriminated Segment in Society

Imagine if you woke up one day and found out that you were now considered a second-hand American because of:

Your race

Your religion

Your ethnicity 

Your sexual preferences

and

Your resistance to the growing fascist movement in America.

Of course, it wouldn't just happen overnight. These things take time. We've allowed white supremacists and other extreme groups to spread their poison in politics to the point we're near a civil war.

Systemic racism has always been an issue in America. Only a clueless idiot would deny that. African Americans have always been discriminated against since they were brought here as slaves.

Religion has always been weaponized in cultures around the world. It depends what religion you are part of and where you live. In America we have white Christain Nationalists who rebuke other religions rights and secular citizens freedoms.

Ethnicity is another longtime challenge when it comes to getting equal rights in the "Land of the Free." The pecking order goes something like this, Caucasians, Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics. You could shuffle the order around, but they are always beneath the whites.

Who you love is a major issue these days. Admittedly it has always been a super charged issue with straight people who demonize the LGBTQ community out of fear and stupidity.

The latest example is the current war on trans people perpetrated by MAGA morons. Over 500 court cases across the country so far have been filed against trans citizens and many are now new laws.

MAGA politicians in Congress are complicit in this attack against trans people because they know it pleases their homophobic base. As I write the corrupt GOP operatives for Trump are pushing this hateful agenda as part of their presidential campaign and the general election in 2024.

Consider this.

What are the chances you could be affected someday by this trend to marginalize Americans who don't support rightwing extremists? 

As it stands, the first step towards saving our democracy is taking back control of the House, maintaining the majority in the Senate and re-electing Joe Biden in 2024.
