 So earlier today, I posted a video about how Tucker Carlson wants to make Marjorie Taylor Greene's trans ban a litmus test for Republicans Going forward and I'd recommend that you check that out because I think it's really important But I want to further explore the ways in which the rhetoric with regard to LGBTQ plus issues among the far right Has escalated substantially and we're not just talking about bigotry. We're past that point We're now talking about stochastic terrorism and we're talking about rhetoric that is explicitly genocidal So I touched on this issue last week when it comes to the threats that Boston Children's Hospital was receiving After libs of tiktok and Matt Walsh were fear mongering about the gender of firm and care that they were providing to trans youth But that hasn't stopped as Harvard Laws Alejandra Karabao writes libs of tiktok has spent the weekend attacking Lurie's Children's Hospital in Chicago by tweeting and retweeting incendiary misinformation six times last time they did this Boston's Children's Hospital received death threats and the FBI got involved. So I need you to know why they're not stopping It's not like oh we feel guilty and we're going to stop It's not even that it's they see what they're doing They see the effect that they're having and they want that to be the effect The goal here is to harass and intimidate so that way doctors and parents feel Disinclined from seeking out gender from in care or providing gender from in care as is the case with doctors to trans youth That is the ultimate goal But we're talking about a multitude of tactics here and by the way that is stochastic terrorism What libs of tiktok is doing and Twitter has not taken action even if it is the case that that is not freedom of speech If you incite harassment and violence that is not protected speech But yet it continues to happen and somebody is gonna get killed But I want to talk about other tactics that individuals within the far-right movement are doing to punish people for being who they are So let's talk about Crystal Alonso This is a member of a group called Moms for Liberty and this group has been able to Successfully not only cancel LGBTQ plus events pride events, but they've also managed to get Hundreds of pro LGBTQ books banned from schools now Crystal has a recommendation as to how Lawmakers could handle Education and dealing with the existence of queer children going forward. Let's watch The kids that do have There you know, they're confused or they are gay or whatnot that the way they're trying to go about it is to make it an Open conversation and open theme classrooms, but like for example children with autism down syndrome They have to have special IP means of the counselor they have to be put into separate classrooms and I understand that it's a different type of education for children with those disabilities But I think that for children that identify differently. There should also be like a specialized Something for them. So they feel that they're important enough that They're being counseled and why not have that conversation that you're explaining in front of everyone. I Think for the same reason why teachers wouldn't just bring a child with autism from the classroom Okay, he's got autism embarrassment. What is when your eyes embarrassing about being gay? It's not that it's something to be embarrassed about but you I mean, I'm sure That you understand a lot of kids that are young and feel great. Some of them are shamed because Right, which I understand but There's just a way to go about it See it's not that she doesn't want icky queer kids around her straight kids It's that you know, we want to protect these queer kids So we should segregate them put them in different classrooms because that's what is needed now Children who are developmentally disabled They are in special classrooms because those teachers specifically are trained to deal with the needs that they have unique needs address their unique Circumstance, but when it comes to queer kids, they're Similarly situated to their heterosexual peers So there's no reason to separate them unless you don't want them around your kids It's like we have an example of this somewhere in history, but I can't quite place it now Crystal isn't alone in making that recommendation because another individual a GOP operative if you will and friend According to him of Kerry Lake the GOP candidate of Arizona Also made the recommendation that maybe we should separate Queer people for a very good reason according to him. Let's watch You know this monkey pox is serious, you know We need to quarantine and isolate all the folks of the LGBT community We need to find all of them. We need to hunt them down and put them into isolation camps for their own protection You know monkey pox needs to we have to stop the spread somehow. So the best way is probably to you know Find all the LGBT folks and you know, put them in camps something like that something like that So hunt them down and put them in camps Hmm. It's almost like there's another example of this happening in history again Maybe you think wow perhaps they're just historically ignorant and they haven't learned from the past Oh, no, no, no, they know they've learned from the past and they've learned that those tactics are very effective at Eliminating people who you view as inferior to you now if this guy looks familiar that was Ethan Schmidt Crockett He claims to be a good friend of Republican gubernatorial nominee Kerry Lake and she followed him on Instagram before he was banned So I mean I have no reason to not believe him Now you also probably recognize him because he recently went viral on tiktok for demanding that PetSmart employees take down fried flags Now this isn't the only psycho associated with Kerry Lake as she endorsed Republican nominee for Oklahoma State Senate Jared Jackson who claims that the existence of Jewish people as evidence that evil exists in the world and Implied that Christ will quote shock those kinds of people along with communists the Illuminati and The Rothschilds and they'll be chucked into the fire specifically so she keeps associating with Nazi types, but you know, I guess it's just a coincidence now speaking of Oklahoma candidates Let's get to another story where this individual has decided to not denounce comments He made not too long ago where he says we should definitely stone gaze and we're not talking about giving them free marijuana because that would be delightful We're talking about actually killing them specifically because they are homosexual as Carmen Foreman of the Oklahoma explains Republican Scott Esk 56 who faces Gloria Bannister in Oklahoma State House district 87 has made headlines lately for old Facebook comments He made in which he wrote gay people are worthy of death and we would be totally in the right to stone them He has defended the comments that he made in 2013 that surfaced when he unsuccessfully ran for a different house seat in 2014 When contacted this week, Esk complained about a 2014 article about him in the Oklahoma that he called a hit piece Although he did not elaborate on the content of the story Esk declined an interview about his campaign and directed the Oklahoma into videos He posted on his YouTube page quote I've stood up for what is right in the past and I intend to in the future and I am right now He said that's got me in trouble. The media are not my friends as far as I'm concerned So in other words his views have not changed and he still unapologetically believes that gays are worthy of death And it's justifiable for them to be stoned. Yeah, but you can breathe a little bit easier knowing that he claims He would not make it a law in the state of Oklahoma to extend the death penalty to homosexuals I was getting worried there for a second. He just thinks that it's justifiable if the gays are stoned But don't actually do it. He's not gonna make that legal. I'm so glad he's a reasonable person here Now, it's not just gays and trans people who are the targets of fascists in the United States Because other marginalized people are always the targets We talked about the way that they are anti-Semitic But they also are targeting women lately as chuds of tiktok the good of tiktok account points out that Before Florida State House candidate Louise Miguel was banned from all of social media Well, he called for the death penalty for women who got abortions Oh, and he also wanted to legalize the murder of FBI agents IRS agents and agents at the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco firearms and explosives so on one hand, you know, he says we should protect innocent lives Which is why we should murder women who get abortions, but also it should be legal to shoot presumably to kill federal agents This is the GOP but look not everyone in the GOP to be fair is as extreme as that Some of them are more quote moderate such as Tudor Dixon She is the Republican gubernatorial nominee in Michigan and when asked if 14 year old rape victims should be forced to have their rapists Baby her answer was essentially yes They should be forced to have their rapists baby Arguing that rape victims often find healing through the baby when we force them to have said baby and claims that they Often have strong bonds with their rapist baby Therefore, they shouldn't have the choice to abort it have your rapists baby, and you'll love it later This is what they're saying no choice for you And this is the more reasonable position apparently because at least she's not saying oh well We should kill that 14 year old if she gets an abortion Right. I mean she hasn't said this But this is what we're dealing with now Do you understand a few years ago? I think that it was reasonable to deduce That the majority of the Republican Party were proto fascists, but nowadays that is no longer correct They are no longer proto fascists. They are fascists period full stop They are violence and they're calling for violence increasingly so they're doing violence increasingly so they pose a threat to normal Americans Increasingly so and their rhetoric has become genocidal now The only question is when are they going to actually carry out said genocide? They're starting to do that legally with bills introduced by Marjorie Taylor green and being promoted by fascist propagandists like Tucker Carlson But when does it actually get worse? We're in the midst of that right now. We're in the middle of getting worse Now, you know, of course everyone would be alarmed if they started to literally round up LGBTQ plus people and started to kill them But what we're seeing right now is them just slowly but surely turning up the heat and we're a frog in that boiling pot But we can't acknowledge how bad it is because it's getting worse slowly So they're turning up the heat slowly. They're not gonna jump too far But I still want you to notice the demonstrable difference from their rhetoric now and just a couple of years ago Times are changing fast the rise of fascism is a threat to all life in the United States and across the globe And it's not just happening here in the United States. It's happening in other countries as well We've witnessed the rise of a global fascist movement and you need to be aware of this Because if you don't push back if you don't try to stop it then it may be too late So pay attention to their rhetoric and how violent it has become and it should absolutely worry all of us
