They don't care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.

100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it's the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.

Trans are a small portion of the US and few people will care if they are rounded up and sent to camps. Doing so then normalizing that kind of behavior.

100 years ago they were also persecuting trans people. Here's a photo of them burning books in 1933, some of which were from the Institute of Sexual Science after it was raided by the Nazis. And it only got worse from there. Here's a whole article about it.
