    It’s not that they got hurt.

    It’s that fascism is an engine of hatred that burns minorities for power.

    Think about bullies: they aren’t attacking people who hurt them; they’re attacking people to make themselves seem dominant.

      Fascism is also an ideology of fear. It requires an enemy that’s both weak and existentially threatening in order to frighten and divide people.

      For the modern right that enemy is now the trans community. And make no mistake, it’s cynical and deliberate. Alt right figures sought and found the enemy they needed to galvanize voters, and now they’re stoking that fear as best they can.
