You Are Not a Person to Them. You Are Cattle.
The coup is not coming. It is happening now. We are living through it. But to the people with the power—JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and the rest of their billionaire handlers—you are not a citizen. You are livestock.
Your purpose in their system is simple: to serve, to work, to obey, and to die when you are no longer useful.
This is not democracy. It is not “reform.” It is not a debate. It is a system for control, and it is already being implemented.
The Slaughter Process
Remove Your Ability to Resist.
Stack the courts. Gut elections. Rewrite laws. Fire political opponents. You cannot fight back through the system, because the system no longer belongs to you.
Sort the Population.
Are you profitable? You will be allowed to work, but under increasing restrictions.
Are you a liability? You will be pushed out, made unemployable, or imprisoned.
Are you a threat? You will be eliminated.
Redefine Humanity.
People like JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr have already shown support for a book titled "Unhumans", which categorizes people on the right as “Humans” and those on the left as “Unhumans.”
If you are trans, disabled, queer, an immigrant, the wrong race, or politically noncompliant—you are Unhuman. And Unhumans do not have rights.
The Cleanup Begins.
Internment camps are being expanded. Facilities in Guantánamo Bay are already under construction. The next phase includes “wellness camps” for anyone who does not align with the new system.
Policies and erasures of trans and intersex people are on the table, and align with Nazi Eugenics. Project 2025 explicitly outlines the state’s power to control who lives and who dies.
Discussions about “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza are happening. Officials in the administration are openly considering policies that would have been unthinkable a few years ago.
This is fascism with better branding. Yarvin calls it the Dark Enlightenment. Vance calls it necessary reform. But history recognizes this for what it is. The Nazis did not start with gas chambers. They started by convincing the public that some people weren’t people at all.
You are not meant to see this happening. You are meant to stay comfortable and pacified while the gates close around you. But if you are reading this, then you still have time to wake up.
This is not a drill. This is not a warning. This is the process. You are inside it. And you need to decide right now whether you are going to let it happen.

I've compiled everything I could find on who is leading this coup and why. PLEASE READ!
Introduction
Democracies do not collapse overnight, nor do they always fall to military force. Sometimes, they erode from within, their institutions hollowed out by those who seek to replace democratic governance with personal power. In the United States, a systematic purge of career civil servants is underway, targeting those who simply followed the law under previous administrations. The president has declared his refusal to enforce laws he dislikes, and Congress stands by, enabling this erosion of democracy through inaction. Meanwhile, unelected billionaires, particularly in the tech sector, are consolidating their power, using economic dominance to exert unprecedented political control.
Those resisting this transformation are being removed from government, while those who facilitate it are rewarded with influence over critical federal functions. What we are witnessing is not just a shift in policy or ideology; it is an orchestrated attack on the foundational principles of democratic governance. The United States is shifting from a government by the people to one controlled by private interests, operating outside the constraints of law and accountability.
Meanwhile, the tech elite, with unprecedented access to the White House, are transforming their economic power into political domination. Elon Musk's associates have gained access to crucial government databases, controlling trillions in federal funds and personal data. Peter Thiel-backed firms are securing lucrative defense contracts, embedding themselves deep within national security structures. Social media executives and billionaire owned media channels have been manipulating discourse by selectively amplifying or suppressing political narratives that benefit their corporate interests, effectively shaping public opinion and policy decisions. This unprecedented infiltration is turning Silicon Valley’s economic dominance into direct political control, further eroding democratic governance.
Those brave enough to resist are being removed, while enablers are rewarded with expanded control over government functions. This is not just political maneuvering—we are witnessing the deliberate dismantling of constitutional democracy.
The difference between legitimate policy disagreements and what we are facing now is stark. Disagreeing on taxation or immigration policy is part of democratic debate. But refusing to enforce laws, purging civil servants for upholding legal mandates, and allowing private entities to seize control of government functions is not just politics—it is an outright attack on governance itself.
A Warning From Our Forefathers
Every American who has ever fought to preserve democracy—from the battlefields of Gettysburg to the beaches of Normandy—did so with the belief that future generations would safeguard the nation’s foundational principles. The sacrifices of these patriots were made to protect a government that serves the people, not one ruled by unchecked personal power.
James Madison wrote: "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
George Washington said: "The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism."
Benjamin Franklin believed that: "In free governments, the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors and sovereigns."
John Jay warned "The executive is the branch of power most interested in war and most prone to it; therefore, it must be restrained by the other branches."
Harry Truman warned "When even one American—who has done nothing wrong—is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth, then all Americans are in peril."
President Obama made it clear: "Democracy does not require uniformity. Our founders argued. They quarreled. They eventually compromised. They expected us to do the same."
Today, we are watching the systematic subversion of constitutional governance. Career officials are being forced out, government functions are being taken over by private individuals, and Congress is abandoning its responsibilities. These actions threaten everything our democracy stands for.
It is understandable that many hesitate to acknowledge what is happening. Accepting the reality of an ongoing coup is frightening. However, we must confront the facts: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are orchestrating a systematic takeover of the federal government, using illegal means to consolidate power. They are violating civil service protections, dismantling congressionally mandated agencies without authority, and purging public servants based on ideology rather than lawfulness.
This is an emergency that demands urgent action from every American who values democracy. The window for effective resistance narrows with each passing day.
The Transformation of Government into Private Power
The American Constitution is more than just a framework for governance—it is the greatest experiment in self-rule through law and reason rather than brute force. The Founders built a system designed to prevent any one individual from amassing unchecked power. They created a structure in which democratic institutions, not personal authority, would shape national decisions.
Now, we are watching as this system is methodically dismantled. The checks and balances that safeguard our democracy—civil service protections, congressional oversight, and institutional integrity—are being stripped away, not by revolution but by a calculated strategy of institutional capture.
Treasury Systems Seized: A 25-year-old Musk employee took control of the U.S. Treasury’s payment system, effectively managing $5.5 trillion in government spending—including IRS refunds, Medicare, and Social Security payments—without oversight. This also granted him and his colleagues access to our Social Security numbers and our tax records.
Federal Employee Purges: Musk and his allies have expanded their ideological purges into the CIA and FBI, removing officials who played roles in prosecuting January 6 rioters.
Agency Closures: Musk has moved to shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development, despite Congress controlling its funding.
Deportation Policies: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced El Salvador’s offer to house deportees and imprisoned Americans in a "mega-prison." Its prison system has been widely criticized for torture, arbitrary detentions, and abuse. Outsourcing U.S. deportees and incarcerated citizens to a foreign prison with documented human rights violations could lead to severe mistreatment and loss of legal protections, setting a dangerous precedent for the U.S. justice system.
This is not theoretical—it is happening in real time. The government is being reshaped into a tool that benefits the wealthiest elite, at the expense of democracy itself.
The Role of "Unhumans" and the Justification for Authoritarianism
A key element of this takeover is the ideological justification found in the book Unhumans: The Secret History of Communist Revolutions by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec. This book, endorsed by figures such as JD Vance, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., and Tucker Carlson, openly dehumanizes the political left, labeling them as "unhuman" and advocating for their removal from society.
JD Vance, our vice-president, endorsed Unhumans, stating:
"In the past, communists marched in the streets waving red flags. Today, they march through HR, college campuses, and courtrooms to wage lawfare against good, honest people. In Unhumans, Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec reveal their plans and show us what to do to fight back."
The book explicitly praises authoritarian leaders like Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet for their suppression of leftist movements and suggests that similar measures may be necessary.
The Tactics They Advocate
Unhumans lays out a clear strategy for eliminating democratic opposition:
Public Humiliation and Ridicule – Use shame, disgrace, and harassment to undermine political opponents.
Creation of Blacklists – Target individuals in academia, media, and government to be exposed and removed from positions of influence.
Rejection of Democratic Processes – Suggest alternative means to securing power beyond elections.
Advocacy for Capital Punishment – Argue for executing political opponents as seen in historical authoritarian regimes.
Promotion of Righteous Violence – Justify the use of force against "unhumans."
Support for Vigilantism – Encourage private action outside legal channels to target opposition.
Suppression of Opposing Ideologies – Use censorship and coercion to silence dissent.
Encouragement of Political Persecution – Employ legal and extralegal methods to eliminate political threats.
The Butterfly Revolution: How Big Tech Will Dismantle Our Democracy
The term "Butterfly Revolution" has recently been associated with a proposed strategy to dismantle the U.S. government and replace it with a corporate-style autocracy. This concept is linked to Curtis Yarvin, a political theorist known for advocating the replacement of democratic institutions with a CEO-led governance model. 
The plan envisions a "reboot" of the American government, discarding democratic institutions in favor of a system that mirrors a techno-monarchy, where technology leaders hold significant power.
Here are the 7 Major Steps the Butterfly Revolution recommends to dismantle democracy:
Step 1: Campaign on Autocracy: They tell the public democracy is broken and that the only way forward is strongman rule. Trump, Vance, and their billionaire backers openly reject democracy and promise to “take power back” from voters, courts, and Congress. Thiel, Musk, and others have publicly stated their opposition to democracy. Trump’s “Freedom Cities” and Yarvin’s “Patchwork” plan both envision corporate city-states run by billionaire CEOs instead of elected officials. 
Step 2: Purge the Bureaucracy: They fire or replace government workers with loyalists to eliminate checks and balances. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has already embedded agents inside federal agencies, giving him direct power over government operations. DOGE is modeled after Yarvin’s RAGE (Rapid Administrative Government Euthanasia)—designed to gut the administrative state and centralize power. Federal workers who resist are fired, replaced, or silenced.
Step 3: Ignore the Courts: They treat the judiciary as irrelevant—refusing to obey rulings that block their agenda. Musk and Vance have already dismissed federal judges’ rulings against DOGE’s actions. JD Vance has publicly questioned whether the courts have any authority over the executive branch. Once the courts are powerless, the rule of law collapses. 
Step 4: Co-Opt the Congress: They bully, buy, or bypass lawmakers to eliminate legislative oversight. Thiel and his allies have poured billions into Trump’s campaign and other far-right candidates to ensure that Congress is filled with loyalists. If Congress resists, the executive circumvents them with executive orders and corporate-backed policymaking (via Musk’s DOGE). Once Congress stops being an independent check, democracy is over. 
Step 5: Centralize Police and Power: They replace local law enforcement with federalized, AI-driven policing. AI and surveillance tech—controlled by these billionaires—will enforce their rule instead of independent law enforcement. Federal police powers will be centralized under the executive branch—meaning they answer to Musk, Vance, and Trump, not local governments. Dissent will be criminalized—protests, strikes, and opposition groups will be labeled as threats to “national security.” 
Step 6: Shut Down Elite Media and Academic Institutions: They discredit, defund, and dismantle independent sources of knowledge. Musk already controls Twitter/X, which has become a propaganda machine. Media outlets that criticize the coup will be bought out, shut down, or discredited. Universities will face funding cuts and ideological purges—professors who resist will be fired or censored. Once they control the flow of information, resistance becomes much harder. 
Step 7: Turn Out the People: They mobilize a loyalist base to enforce their rule on the streets. Far-right militias, online extremists, and billionaire-backed “populist” groups will be used to intimidate opponents. Election protests, media boycotts, and AI-powered propaganda will keep the public divided and disoriented. The government will claim they have “the people” on their side—even as they suppress millions. 
The Endgame: Technofascism and Corporate Rule: Once these seven steps are complete, America will no longer be a democracy. Corporate overlords will own the government, manipulate elections, control the police, and rule through AI and surveillance. 
The coup is already in motion. 
What Has Been Done So Far?
Defiance of the Constitution:
Trump is overriding laws and Constitutional protections through executive orders that were designed to safeguard our democracy. Trump is openly bypassing Congress, ignoring judicial rulings, and using executive power to centralize control.
His attack on the 14th Amendment is an attack on American citizens. The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law, yet Trump is targeting marginalized communities, including immigrants, intersex, and transgender people—denying them rights that our Constitution guarantees.
He is erasing women’s contributions from history. Trump has ordered NASA to purge all mentions of women in leadership from its official websites, an obvious attempt to rewrite history and diminish women’s role in science and government.
He is silencing vital public health information. Trump has removed critical medical data from CDC websites, limiting public access to life-saving health information. Why is the government restricting access to medical knowledge?
He is using the presidency to promote Christian supremacy. Executive orders are being signed to fund Christian nationalist task forces with taxpayer money, in direct violation of the First Amendment’s separation of church and state. 
Elon Musk now has control over critical government software. He has direct access to Social Security numbers, tax records, and federal databases. This means he can train AI on every American’s personal data and manipulate government operations behind the scenes.
This jeopardizes our elections. If Musk controls the infrastructure, how can we ever trust that an election is fair again? Who is watching him?
Our entire government software may already be compromised. We do not know what Musk or his allies are doing behind closed doors, nor who they may sell this access to. Our entire digital infrastructure needs to be rewritten before it’s too late.
 Federal employees are being bullied and purged. Trump’s executive orders and Musk’s direct interference have created chaos, resulting in the wrongful firings of dedicated public servants and the deaths of innocent people in disasters like recent plane crashes. Trump shifted the blame to DEI policies, refusing to take responsibility for the consequences of reckless governance.
This Is About the 1% vs. the Rest of Us
This is not about left vs. right—this is about the wealthiest elite seizing control over our government at the expense of everyone else. Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies are consolidating power, eroding democracy, and rigging the system to serve the ultra-rich while stripping rights away from ordinary people.
What Needs to Be Done NOW
Trump must be impeached before he further dismantles our institutions. 
Elon Musk must be investigated and held accountable for his control over government systems and potential data breaches. 
Congress must act immediately to stop this authoritarian takeover before it’s too late.
This is an organized corporate coup led by the wealthiest 1%, turning America into a billionaire-controlled dictatorship. The time for action is now.
What Can Be Done?
This is not a time for passive observation—action is required. Here’s what you can do:
Support Reliable Sources – Identify and follow media outlets committed to factual reporting.
Speak Out Against Broken Norms – Call out violations of democratic principles.
Organize Locally – Get involved with pro-democracy groups.
Attend Community Meetings – School boards and city councils are where grassroots power begins.
Contact Your Representatives – Demand accountability from lawmakers on appointees and legislation.
Here are some other resources to fight this coup and to gain more information:
“Dark Gothic MAGA” by Blonde Politics on YouTube breaks down podcasts, web seminars, and talks by wealthy elites where they talk about using this administration to achieve their agenda. It explains what the Butterfly Revolution is and how they plan on using it.
The ACLU – Is taking legal action against authoritarianism.
Contact your Senators! https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm
GET INVOLVED! The more people that understand what’s going on, the better. Tell your neighbors, your coworkers, your friends, family, and your local and state representatives. The only way to stop this is together!
The time to act is now. Start small, but do not stop. Democracy depends on the vigilance and engagement of its people. If we fail to resist this moment, we may not get another chance.

We Are All Accountable For Demanding Change
Here is an email you can send that shows the absolute necessity for all of us to act. Civilians must unite whether Democrat or Republican.
I am emailing you because our democracy is at immediate risk, and history is repeating itself. What Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing mirrors the actions of past authoritarian regimes. It took just 53 days for Hitler to dismantle Germany’s democracy. 53 days. He used executive orders, erased marginalized groups, and silenced opposition—while too many stood by and did nothing.
Trump’s executive order erases transgender and intersex people from legal recognition—just like Hitler erased Jewish and trans people from legal records before persecution began.
Elon Musk now has access to the U.S. Treasury’s financial system—just like Putin’s oligarchs seized control of Russia’s wealth to consolidate power.
Trump is erasing vital medical information from our government and silencing opposition—just like Hitler suppressed science and banned opposing views.
Trump is dismantling government agencies, firing oversight officials, and gutting institutions like USAID and the Department of Education—just like Hitler replaced government officials with loyalists to eliminate accountability.
We are running out of time. If we do not all act, our democracy will be gone.

The Republican Party Has Been Corrupted by Wealth and Power. It’s Time to Demand Answers From Every Republican Politician!
The modern GOP is no longer the “party of the people.” It has been consumed by greed, religious extremism, and the hunger for absolute control. It no longer serves the working class, the marginalized, or the future of this country—it serves the billionaires, the corporations, and the authoritarian ambitions of a few. Their policies are not about governance; they are about domination. Their ideology is not about freedom; it is about oppression.
They are gutting democracy piece by piece, and it’s time to hold them accountable.
Here are some accountability questions for you to demand answers for:
🔹 On Erasing Intersex & Trans People:
If gender is biological, then why does the Republican Party refuse to acknowledge the existence of intersex people, who scientifically prove that sex is not binary?
Why are you spending more time legislating people’s genders than addressing real issues like healthcare costs, worker wages, and climate disasters?
If banning trans healthcare is about "protecting children," why are you also banning it for adults?
If trans people are just a "small minority," why is the GOP obsessed with erasing them instead of focusing on actual national issues?
If "parents' rights" matter, why do you support taking trans kids away from supportive parents?
🔹 On Dismantling USAID & Foreign Aid:
Why is the Republican Party willing to let millions of people suffer by gutting USAID, one of the most effective humanitarian programs in the world?
If foreign aid is such a waste of money, why do military contracts always receive unlimited funding with no oversight?
Do you realize that cutting USAID and foreign aid will only increase global instability and create the very crises you claim to want to prevent?
If the goal is to “make America strong,” how does abandoning our allies and letting global humanitarian crises fester accomplish that?
Is the end goal of dismantling USAID to ensure that only corporate-backed relief efforts exist, making humanitarian aid another for-profit industry?
🔹 On Authoritarianism & Power Grabs:
If Republicans believe in democracy, why do they keep trying to suppress votes instead of earning them?
If the GOP is about “small government,” why do they push for laws that control what people read, who they love, and what medical care they can access?
Why does the Republican Party protect billionaires from taxes but punish working-class people for needing healthcare and education?
If Trump’s goal was to “drain the swamp,” why has the GOP become more corrupt, installing billionaires and lobbyists into every seat of power?
If Republican policies are so great, why do they rely on gerrymandering and voter suppression to stay in power?
The Republican Party has abandoned democracy in favor of authoritarian control. Their policies strip away rights, erase marginalized communities, and dismantle global stability. They do not govern; they rule.
It's time to fight back.

Why We Need To Be Extremely Concerned About Trump's Shutdown of the USAID.
Here are some historical comparisons:
Putin (Russia): He shut down independent charities and aid groups so only his government could control who got help. This let him spread propaganda and punish people who didn’t support him while making sure only loyalists got resources.
Hitler (Nazi Germany): He got rid of foreign aid groups so that no one outside Germany could see or interfere with what he was doing. This let him control who got help and push his extreme nationalist agenda without outside influence.
Orban (Hungary): He kicked out international aid groups so that only his government and his rich allies could decide how money was spent. This let him keep power, reward loyal businesses, and cut off outside checks on his actions.
In all these cases, getting rid of humanitarian aid wasn’t about saving money—it was about taking full control, isolating the country, and making sure only their supporters benefited. That’s what Trump is doing now by shutting down USAID.

It's time we start demanding answers! Here's an email template to send to those in our local, state, and US government that holds accountability.
Dear [Their Name]
I am writing to demand accountability regarding recent executive actions that erase, criminalize, and deny rights to transgender and intersex people. These actions are not just discriminatory—they are designed to strip legal recognition, restrict medical access, and criminalize existence itself. This is authoritarianism in action, and I need to understand if and why you support or tolerate it.
1. Do you support Trump’s executive order erasing transgender and intersex people from legal recognition? This is not just policy—it is government-mandated erasure of real people. Stripping legal recognition means denying basic rights, protections, and dignity.
2. Do you support the use of government power to control identity and erase marginalized communities? History is clear: every authoritarian regime begins by targeting vulnerable groups, stripping them of rights, and forcing them out of public life. We have seen this playbook before in Nazi Germany and Putin’s Russia. Why are you endorsing that path?
3. Do you support Trump’s decision to pardon violent insurrectionists while criminalizing trans people, doctors, and parents seeking medical care? This is not law and order—it is political persecution. The message is clear: those who attack democracy receive clemency, while those seeking basic healthcare face prosecution.
These policies directly threaten my rights and my future. As my government leader, I expect you to either defend democracy and human rights or publicly justify why you stand with those who seek to dismantle them. Silence is complicity. I demand real answers, not deflections.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

The cost of eggs will rise
Help me develop accountability questions for our government in regards to bird flu and the cost of eggs:
Given that avian influenza has led to the culling of millions of egg-laying hens, resulting in a significant decrease in egg production and a corresponding increase in prices, what specific measures is the government implementing to mitigate the impact on consumers?
Considering the ongoing avian influenza outbreak, which has been linked to rising egg prices, what steps is the government taking to support affected poultry farmers and ensure a stable egg supply?
What proactive measures is the government implementing to prevent future avian influenza outbreaks, and how are they ensuring that poultry farms adhere to biosecurity protocols to minimize the risk of virus transmission?
How is the government investing in research and development of avian influenza vaccines or treatments to protect poultry populations and stabilize the egg supply chain in the future?
What lessons has the government learned from the current avian influenza outbreak, and how are these lessons being applied to improve response strategies for future animal disease outbreaks that could impact food supply and prices?
Given the ongoing challenges posed by avian influenza, what investments is the government making in vaccine research and biosecurity measures to protect poultry populations and prevent future outbreaks?
Considering the economic strain on restaurateurs and bakeries due to rising egg prices, what assistance programs are in place to support small businesses heavily reliant on eggs?
What steps is the government taking to enhance surveillance and early detection of such diseases to mitigate their impact on the food supply?
Given the forecasted 20% increase in egg prices in 2025 due to ongoing avian influenza outbreaks, what immediate actions is the government taking to alleviate the financial burden on consumers, especially those in low-income households?
Following the removal of over 1,000 pages related to gender identity and vaccine information from federal websites, how does the administration plan to ensure that critical health information remains accessible to the public?
With the recent appointment of new leadership within the CDC, what measures are being implemented to restore public trust and improve the agency's responsiveness to health crises?
In response to the removal of certain health guidelines from federal websites, how does the administration plan to address concerns about transparency and the politicization of public health information?

Trump's Tariffs are already punishing us
Help me find more questions to hold our government accountable for what We The People have to say:
How does the administration justify imposing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico when tariffs historically lead to increased consumer prices?
What is the administration’s plan to prevent further inflation caused by these tariffs, especially for essential goods like food and household products?
Has the administration conducted an economic impact analysis on how these tariffs will affect lower-income Americans who are already struggling with high grocery prices?
Orange juice is already historically expensive. With tariffs and reactionary tariffs on Mexico, what will the government do to prevent further price hikes for basic grocery items?
Did the administration consult with economists or trade experts before making this decision, and if so, what data justifies these tariffs as beneficial to the average American?
Given that tariffs act as an indirect tax on consumers, how does the administration reconcile this policy with its claims of lowering costs for Americans?
How does alienating our two largest trading partners benefit American consumers or businesses in the long term?
Given that many American farmers and manufacturers rely on Canadian and Mexican markets, how will the administration support industries that suffer from retaliatory tariffs?
Why is the government implementing policies that have historically led to economic downturns rather than pursuing strategies that encourage economic stability and trade growth?
If the tariffs result in a recession, will the administration take responsibility for the consequences of its trade war?
If the goal of these tariffs is to punish Mexico and Canada, why should American consumers bear the brunt of the cost?

Montana Bill HB121 Accountability Email Template
Here is a template email you can use to email representatives in Montana related to a bill that unfairly targets minorities such as trans and intersex individuals. I have provided links to the contact information of various sponsors of the bill and representatives of the state, so you can help hold them accountable.
Dear [Legislator’s Name],
As a resident of [Your Location], I am deeply concerned about House Bill 121. This Bill impacts a significant number of my fellow citizens. This bill has serious real-world consequences, and I am seeking clear, specific answers to the following questions:
[Some example Accountability questions are provided below. Try and stick to 1-3]
This bill does nothing but legislate discrimination under the false guise of “safety,” despite zero evidence showing transgender people pose any threat in public facilities. I expect a direct response, not vague talking points.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Email: [Your Contact Info]
If a transgender male follows this law and uses the women's restroom, do you admit this will result in him being harassed? If he instead uses the men's restroom and is arrested, do you take responsibility for these consequences?
If a transgender person is attacked or harassed because they are forced into a different facility, will you take personal responsibility for the consequences of this law? Such as a trans man in the women’s room? Or a trans woman in the men's restroom?
If trans individuals experience increased suicide rates, as studies show happens under anti-trans laws, will you acknowledge this bill played a role?
If the data overwhelmingly shows that transgender individuals do not pose a threat in public restrooms—and that forcing them into the wrong facilities increases harassment and violence—why are you still pushing this bill? What is the actual purpose of this legislation beyond targeting trans individuals?
Why are you pushing a law that increases violence and inequality instead of protecting those most at risk?
How does this bill account for intersex individuals, who may not fit neatly into binary definitions of sex?
What enforcement mechanisms will be used, and how do you plan to prevent invasive and humiliating policing of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people?
Given that medical and psychological experts confirm that these laws increase harm and discrimination against transgender individuals, why is Montana prioritizing a law that causes documented harm?
Can you provide data proving that allowing trans people to use the restroom that matches their identity has led to harm? If not, why is this bill necessary?
Since this bill ignores the reality of gender diversity, are legislators open to amendments that ensure safety and dignity for all people, not just those who conform to a rigid binary?
Since many trans and nonbinary people experience higher rates of violence and harassment in restrooms, how does this bill protect them rather than endanger them?
How will this bill be enforced without violating constitutional protections against discrimination and unreasonable searches?
Can you name a single case in Montana where a trans person using the bathroom that matches their identity caused harm? Why is this legislation necessary?
What historical examples can you cite where governments enforced strict separation of people into binary categories without it leading to discrimination and violence against marginalized groups?
How is enforcing state control over which restrooms people use different from authoritarian regimes that policed public spaces to regulate "undesirable" populations?
Considering that Nazi Germany used bathroom restrictions to control and dehumanize Jewish people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other minorities, how does this bill avoid following that same authoritarian playbook?
Does HB121 open the door for government-mandated identity checks in restrooms? If so, how is that different from authoritarian control over citizens' daily lives?
How does forcing people to conform to state-imposed gender classifications align with the principles of individual freedom that conservative lawmakers claim to defend?
How is requiring the state to enforce gender segregation in bathrooms not an expansion of government control into people’s private lives?
What is the next step after this bill? Will the state eventually require gender identity verification for other public services, such as healthcare or employment, further restricting personal freedoms?
Why are lawmakers prioritizing government interference in bathrooms rather than addressing actual issues of public safety and personal privacy?
How do you reconcile HB121 with the First and Fourth Amendments, which protect against government overreach and unreasonable searches?
Historically, laws targeting specific groups under the guise of public safety have led to state-sponsored oppression. What mechanisms are in place to ensure HB121 does not become a precedent for further discrimination?
Given that authoritarian regimes often use "protection of society" as justification for oppressive policies, how does this bill not set a dangerous precedent for further state control over personal identity?
If an individual does not conform to traditional gender expectations, will they be subjected to state-sanctioned scrutiny simply for using a public restroom? How is that not a violation of personal freedom?
If government officials get to decide who is allowed in what space, what stops them from expanding that power to other aspects of public life, like education, employment, or even housing?
