First they came for....

I see Fox and the right wing industrial media are really ratcheting up the hate and lies.

I hope they don’t start advocating for christofascists to start shooting liberals.

First they came for the undocumented immigrants but I wasn’t one
Then they came for the naturalized citizens but I wasn’t one
They they came for the Jews but I’m not Jewish and this is not Nazi Germany
Then they came for the Brown, Black And Asians but I am white so it doesn’t affect me
Then they came for the liberals and then Democrats

Why didn’t we stop them sooner?

but it is not at all dramatic. Trump encourages the racists to be open and proud about their racism.

Recommended.

First they put away the dealers
Keep our kids safe and off the streets
Then they put away the prostitutes
Keep married men cloistered at home

Then they shooed away the bums
They beat and bashed the queers
Turned away asylum seekers
Fed us suspicion and fears

We didn't raise our voice
We didn't make a fuss
There was no one left to notice
When they came for us
