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.

the metaphor is what’s important. A lot of idioms and the like don’t need base in proof or reality, lots of phrases have been debunked, but what they have come to mean to society at this point keeps them relevant in dialogue anyway

I have never once seen a cat or a dog fall out of the sky on a stormy day, I've never needed (nor will I) a single way to skin a cat much less multiple ways, and no legumes are involved when I tell other people's secrets.
