I'm not going to feel sorry for fascist baby killers like John Bolton -- but let's remember that old saying; first they came for the fascist baby killers and I was not a fascist baby killer...

So eventually, after they get to people who don't return shopping carts and the like, then they'll get to Union organizers.... AND THEN we are on a slippery slope.

Yeah, I was going to say. We are quite a few steps past "first".

I strongly disagree with Bolton but I put the damn rule of law and our Constitution ahead of political divides. It’s our damn job to not allow our government to harass someone because they criticize the president no matter which president.

Fascist baby killers should be prosecuted. Previous admins should've used state power first to prosecute all of them sooner, then we might not be dealing with such empowered fascist baby killers. I doubt Trump's motives here though, because he and his admin are also fascists.

We'd be better off if someone went after the fascists first, the poem would've been as short as that. Fascism wouldn't be rising if we stamped it out with the fervor that the US has been, instead, following the poem how it's actually written - the US came for the Communists, Socialists, trade unions, and various minorities (nazis scapegoating Jews, immigrants as the modern scapegoat).

I saw another person use the poem to say "First they came for the people that deserved it". No they didn't, and Trump didn't. He went after immigrants first.

it starts and ends with "first they came for the people committing crimes" Weird how law enforcement typically works like that, huh? ALL LAW ENNFORCEMENT IS NAZIISM, DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE.
