They’re literally calling for “eradication”[1] of trans people now.
If you have Republican “friends” or family in your life and don’t break ties with them you’re supporting genocide.
Yes, you personally.

@glasspusher Loudly telling Nazis not to Nazi isn’t achieving anything.
Even the act of telling them off is (for them) a confirmation that they’re just having a “political opinion”.
Socially ostracizing them sends a signal that they’re not just having an opinion.
@thomasfuchs I’m not breaking ties with these people- I’m going to loudly tell them they’re wrong, repeatedly. “Breaking ties” ain’t gonna cut it. That’s not active opposition
And no, don't "discuss" this with them.

Socially ostracizing them sends a strong signal that they’re not just having an opinion—and they'll have to pick between friends and family or to keep following their criminal cult leaders.
@thomasfuchs I'm not going to assume that people who call themselves Republican aggree with every opinion stated at CPAC. I'll ask first. If I detect bigotry, I'll call them on it.
@billstclair They've been seeing what is going on in their party for years—and if they're still Republicans, they support this. All of it.
Nothing about this is new or a surprise or a "who would have seen this coming".
@philpem They're already all-in on the cult.
If family members severing ties with them isn't ringing alarm bells for them, nothing will.
@thomasfuchs Or it sends a message that their friends and family are done with them and it's time to go all in on the cult. Which sucks because I'm not sure what a better solution would be, their family shouldn't have to deal with their bullshit.
@thomasfuchs The tool for discussing with a nazi: ?
@thomasfuchs @billstclair If you still yourself a Republican in 2023, you own all of this. It’s far past time to declare yourself an independent.
@martlund What are you going to tell them? "Pretty please with sugar on top, don't do genocide?"
I urge you to step back and think about this.
@thomasfuchs Maybe by not breaking ties you'll find more opportunities to change their minds.
@grantmc If she supports it--Yes, you do.
You normalize it by have dinner with a criminal.
I'm sorry, but that's the truth.
If you do not want to see this and just say "whatever, my mum can't be a Nazi", I have a piece of advice for you:
Please go fuck yourself.
@thomasfuchs “If you have dinner with your mom you’re supporting genocide.” ?
This is the kind of dumb shit people who were born in Portland or SF or wherever, who have nothing but liberal friends and family, say because they have nothing to lose and get to feel superior. Meanwhile midwestern Dems are fucked because literally all of their family and people they interact with are Republicans.
