I'm a transgender woman. In 2022, I predicted that in 5 years' time, the American government would be completely controlled by the Republican party. The judicial branch is absolutely secured through SCOTUS. The rest would be delivered by gerrymandering, voter suppression, and all the same usual measures. It would take a bit of time to set the gears in motion, but I predicted that anything LGBT+ would be declared a mental illness, and we would be rounded up for "public safety" into mental rehabilitation centers, if not outright jailed. These facilities would not be able to handle such an enormous influx of patients/prisoners, and they certainly would not be adequately funded to do so. Most of us would not survive. It is no exaggeration to say that I felt I was in a similar position to a Jewish person living in Germany just before Hitler rose to power.

For that reason, I chose to flee to Europe, ultimately seeking asylum in Germany. Unfortunately, the authorities here have told me it is effectively guaranteed my case will be dismissed and I will be forced to return to America. There is already a strong anti-immigrant sentiment here that reminds me very much of America in the early 2000's.

In the year and a half I've been here, things in America have accelerated far more rapidly than I predicted. Project 2025 is definitely evidence of that. And the German authorities still don't believe how bad it's getting here. I pray that my prophecy does not come true, but it is going very quickly in the wrong direction.

Robyn, I too am a transgender woman. I understand what you are saying. I chose instead to stay and fight. If you do come back to our nation, come fight with me.

There is another storm, one that has caused the tornado that we are spinning around in right now. It is The Felowship Foundation aka The Family. An Evangelical white boys club who's "church" took root on C Street, and now all over the world. They are the group that funds the National Prayer Breakfast. This crusade must be stopped! They have tentacles everywhere and are buying and selling favors.
