Trans, like all other marginalized communities, were only ever pawns for power to the DNC. Used to obtain their goals then tossed aside when they were no longer needed.
he also omittet the victims of t4. the poem is supposed to communicate an idea, its not a full list of all victims of the nazis. Besides, i dont know wether niemöller even knew of transgender people.
The Democratic party has no institutional power at the moment. Stop assessing blame to them and focus in who is allied and able to help.
Blaming the Democratic Party is completely useless, as useless as you believe them to be. In part they are captured, and in part they are literally in the jaws of a fascist government.
And you’re still blaming them for this moment. They might end up at GITMO.
Dems have no institutional power when they are the majority. They are ineffective in everything they do. And theyve enabled the current fascists in power.
Trans people can no longer get passports.
President Musk is a personally motivated transphobe.
Trans people are the first line in this iteration of the poem. We have already been abandoned by the Democratic party.
They were first the last time too. That history had just been pretty much erased.

I don’t know why Niemöller omitted them, but in fact trans people were the first line in that iteration, too.

That’s one reason why I didn’t speculate on the reason for the omission.
Make space for trans people in your lives.
Be prepared to help them shelter in place if necessary.
Instead of the Underground Railroad, this generation may have the Trans National Pipeline.
Sigh…

Even if they have no institutional power, there are other groups the Democratic party is still talking about, still trying to take action on.
They aren’t even pretending to care about trans people any more.
That’s fair. I’d just rather see the left try to unify then assign blame and fall further to infighting.
We will need all the allies we can muster to pull through this.
