Sigh. The bigoted rhetoric across the board is definitely getting worse, but LGBTQ people are especially on the margins of society and so can be a sort of canary in the coal mine for how this stuff can go.

In May 1933, only months after Hitler became chancellor in January, there was an institute of "sexology" that studied LGBTQ things, and it was closed by the Nazis and had all of its literature burnt. It was one of the first things the Nazis did.

If Tim Pool and Tucker Carlson stop using coded language it's probably too ****ing late to stop whatever comes next. That's why people are ringing alarm bells now, not because a genocide is imminent, but because if we wait till it is then we're ****ed. And even if it never happens then that political instability we both agree is very possible could still lead to higher body counts for marginalized people.
