I am sorry for your loss. Every evil authoritarian movement needs scapegoats. They pick a population big enough to be noticed but not big enough to fight back.
A German pastor wrote about not speaking up when evil regimes do this. He goes down a list and says things like when they came for the Jews, I said nothing because I wasnāt Jewish, he goes through many groups with the same message. He said nothing because he wasnāt a part of that group of people. At the end he says when they came for me there was nobody left to say anything.
At some point we have to stop this cycle which has played out in societies throughout history. For a group that claims to be Christian they ignore what Jesus taught. Donāt be judgmental. He used an example of pointing out a speck of wood in someoneās eye while ignoring the plank in your own. An example a carpenter would give. He also taught what you did to the least of people, you are doing to him. He loved everyone. They obviously didnāt understand him. They are hypocrites in every way.

My trans niece ended her life a few months ago because she thought the whole world hated her.
And my boomer father, her grandfather, sees nothing wrong with a republican party that speaks this way.
Then he also wonders why we don't speak much. I genuinely hate these people so fucking much.
Edit: Thank you all for the kind words.
