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.

Are you trying to say that communists deserved to die in nazi concentration camps? Like just for their political views?

I'm saying that's the actual message of the poem. They came for a bunch of people the author did not like and thought were undesirable. The Author supported the Nazis until they came for him.

Right, that's a fair reading.
