First, they came for the socialists...

[kentuck]

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

1. John Katich did an ad about this on the primary.

I was thinking how one would update the words for the Trump presidency.


Here it goes

Frist Trump came for the Mexicans and I didn't speak up because I am not a Mexican.

Then he came for the Muslims and I didn't speak up because I am not a Muslim

Then he came for the African-Americans and I didn't speak because I am not African-Americans.

Then he came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I am not a Jew. (I personally am but this is for updating the words)

Then he came for me. And I said "Why isn't anyone speaking up for me."

2. Times have changed, now they go straight after any and every group voting liberal.

That's the only way they can stay in power.
