“Those who cannot remember the past are convicted of its repetition.” George Santaiana’s warning was not currently. In 2025, in the United States, history appears to repeat the disturbing patterns that we have seen overpowering. In the midst The slope is Donald TrumpWhich, in its second term, intensify attacks against minorities and challenge the special democratic principles that say the country.
Her last gesture – Share pink on the truth network with the ban on the ban – not just a symbol. It is a message. During the Nazi regime, just as the Jews were forced to use a yellow star, people forced LGBTQIA+ to carry an inverted pink triangle, so-called Rose-Winkel, another sign of persecution.
Hitler’s homosexuality has long been criminalized in Germany, with paragraph 175 of the Penal Code, which has been in force since 1871. But this persecution had reached its peak. In 1936, Heinrich Himmler established the Central Office for Combating homosexuality and miscarriage, and the police granted the authority to arrest anyone who is a threat to “German ethics”.
In this context, about 15,000 men accused of homosexuality were sent to detention camps; Most of them died due to exhaustion, hunger, or brutal medical experiments, according to the Holocaust Memorial Fund. The pink triangle, which was previously a symbol of repression, resigned later as a slogan for resistance and pride by the LGBTQIA+community.
By reusing it in a distorted way, Trump not only ignores his legacy, but also benefits from ignorance and historical repetition of recycling and converting icons of intolerance to New hate tools. More worrying about choosing this symbol is the set of policies implemented by its government to give legitimacy to exclude minorities, unify a political project that threatens basic rights and weakens democracy.
Trump and his allies call themselves the defenders of freedom, a principle that has been defended in the first amendment to the United States constitution and guarantees freedom of expression, connection and faith. However, this right appears to be only valid for those who are appropriate to their view of the world.
If freedom means the ability to carry weapons without restrictions or monitoring books questioning conservative ideals, Trump and his supporters are ready to defend them. However, when it comes to LGBTQIA+ The right people To be publicly, to reach medical care or service in the army, this freedom is nullified.
Shortly after the presidency’s resumption, Trump made the idea that there are only two types – male and female. Within a few days, his government signed an executive order by preventing persons from service from service in the armed forces. Diversity, fairness and integration policies from the federal government have been eliminated on the basis that they will be “discriminatory, illegal and immoral.
The American president is not the only one to defend what I call “moral tyranny”. It is part of a global level of attacks on the LGBTQIA community, repeated in countries like Poland, Hungary and Russia.
In Poland, the government of the Party of Law and Justice (PIS) has established “free gay areas”, which encourages persecution and violence against the Queer society. Gay Control Speech has been used as a political tool to unify the province’s high -government base.
In Hungary, VikTor Orbán agreed to the laws that prohibit any positive male mention of homosexuality in the media and education, in a deliberate attempt to erase the existence of the LGBTQIA+.
In Russia, Vladimir Putin hardened the LGBT laws that carry it, criminalizing any form of activity or defending the rights of the stranger. In 2023, his government banned any positive representation of homosexual sexual relations, a clear step towards the silence of complete society through fear and repression. This model of social control, which uses the exclusion of minorities as a central column, is repeated in other parts of the world – including the United States.
Despite the speech of the American President and his deputy, JD Vance, who stated that the Republican will invade the vote of “most natural gay” (there is what the term means), the numbers tell a different story. A NBC news survey revealed that less than one in five male LGBT voters voted for Trump, while this number was smaller: only 8 %.
In general, 82 % of gay voters and 91 % of non -gay voters non -white rejected Trump’s nomination. The data indicates that society understands what is at stake: the Republican does not represent freedom, but it is a political project that seeks to erase neglected rights and pupture the correct number groups.
This style is more clear when we look at its policies and sermons. Trump does not want to protect the US constitution or rewrite him to serve a very conservative power draft based on the elimination of anyone who does not fit his view of the world. Your actions speak on your behalf.
Resisting this agenda, however, does not disappear. Washington bishop Marianne Edgar Buddha, whom Trump criticized for mercy to migrants, and people Lgtqia+ remain an active voice against intolerance. His message is clear and urgent: “If we neglect our moral commitment to protect the most at risk, we will lose the right to contact us on a fair nation.”
As the historical symbols of the repression are recycled and returned in public discourse, we cannot close our eyes. History has already shown what happens when we ignore the first signs of systematic exclusion. We see the public sphere closely, and democracy weakens and minorities are excluded or even ignored. The question is: Let’s allow the story to repeat?
