Re state promoted violence, and anger exhibited at our fellow citizens 

I think part of the silence is that nobody has any idea how to stop a state government out of control… let alone as disenfranchised nobodies outside the state, during an economic downturn (and when isn’t it an economic downturn?). And the sad truth is trans folks are a small enough minority that it really is possible for this to be remote to a lot of cis people, which is WHY the fash feel safe pulling this stuff…

@Leucrotta Yeah, ugh. Eventually we hope the Supreme court can solve things, but by then out of control states have new porblems to solve... :./

Re state promoted violence, and anger exhibited at our fellow citizens 

@Kusimanse Oy, that's another bit of powerlessness I'd forgotten about here - what you learn growing up is SCOTUS will handle all the really egregious assaults on civil rights, and of course, SCOTUS makes things worse and all Biden's capable of doing is supporting that status quo. I don't doubt that, too, plays into cis and straight silence about Florida.
