The holocaust did not start with focusing on Jews.
It started with "othering" the disabled, the "feeble-minded" and "delinquents" and "criminals." They were given no due process. They were attacked socially and then put into concentration camps. There was significant experimentation on people. It was eugenics.
RFK has no qualifications to change how drug testing is done, or to be given advice on vaccines, and to measles treatment. Autism is a disability, but not something to be treated like a stain on society. His speeches reek of eugenics.
Assumed guilt for crimes, no due process for people with brown skin. As white people, you'll never need to carry proof of citizenship everywhere you go, but you find that to be an acceptable expectation of "others" who are lesser than you.
The nazis quite literally spoke about and treated Trans people the exact same way Republicans are today.
Attacking experts, scientists, professors, universities, and news sources. As you say, never again will we allow a holocaust to occur again. You ignore the steps it took to get there.
Is it okay with you as long as the genocide doesn't happen to Jews? Any other group is just fine.
If you're going to reply telling me I'm sensationalizing things and stupid. Provide me proof of his Hitler came to power without Eugenics. Without using very similar language and fear tactics.
If you want to use eugenics language, go for it, you've got the 1st Amendment.
But don't stand up and say never again, while doing nothing to protect disabled people from the verbal and social attacks, and sketchy experimention and "research" by RFK. And treating ANYONE of any race, creed, status and age as though they are an invasive species of plants that needs to be weeded out is unacceptably unconstitutional and inhumane. These are HUMAN BEINGS and you're not treated them as such.
Shame on you.
