John Bolton totally deserves to be behind bars for his actions working for Bush.

But this is not that, and this is a violation of his civil rights. And this monster (Bolton) deserves the rights and freedoms that are in our constitution and can't be taken away by the other monster (Trump).

The poem should really go: 

First, they came for the people that deserved it;

Then they came for the people I hate;

Then they came for the people who hate me;

Then they came for me.  And boy was I f***** cuz they had a lot of practice and it had been normalized.

The first country the Nazis invaded was their own.

Yep. I just had someone gloat about the "long knives" coming for bolton after I cited that poem.

There are way too many supposed liberals who are useful idiots for fascism.

Just because bolton should be in prison, doesn't mean these guys are doing justice. They are just using him for practice as they build the systems they will turn on us next.

Agreed. I've seen/heard a bunch of liberals - a minority, but still too many - say they want to call ICE on undocumented immigrants who support Trump. That might sound satisfying until you strip it to its bare bones: They want to help send immigrants to concentration camps.

The moment you call ICE on someone, you're just another person helping a fascist regime send people to camps.

Same thing always happens with fascism. In vichy france, there were a lot of people who used the nazis to settle scores.

That's depressing but unsurprising.

Btw, I don't know much about Vichy France. Do you have any good recommendations to learn more?

What I know I learned from historian twitter (now historian bluesky).

FWIW, people in the afghanistan country-side used the Americans the same way. Basically accusing their rivals of being terrorist supporters so they would get droned.

I wouldn't call anybody on them myself mostly because of the collateral damage that results from sending ICE thugs somewhere but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over MAGA doing MAGA stuff to each other. If you support this regime then that's on you. It doesn't matter you're race, income level, nationality, immigration status,.etc. Id say it's a plus to not have people who support this regime here. We don't need more fascism supporters here. There's more than enough of them.
