Hmm. An Althouse commenter, Ray - SoCal, draws a parallel to Pastor Martin Niemöller's First they came ... poem. The original is:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then 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 out for me
Ray - SoCal gets lost on the meter, introduces too many extraneous elements, weakens his argument with very quotidian outrages and gets kind of disoriented towards the end. His won't, and shouldn't, be considered anything close to Martin Niemöller's clean and demanding poem. But you see the similarity in sentiment.
First they came for the Tea Party defaming them and using the IRS and other Government Agencies,to make the process the punishment,
and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Tea Partier.
Then they used the Russian Hoax / Collusion to try to get rid of Trump and appointed a Special Counsel based on a Clinton Funded Campaign Opposition Research laundered through the Steele Dossieer that the FBI then used to go after Trump.
Then they came for the Alex Jones and Infowars and deplatformed them,
and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a conspiracy follower.
Then they came for those that were against Gay Marriage, such as Brendan Eich,
and I did not speak out—
Because I did not contribute to political causes, and kept my vote private.
Then they came for Milo, for being provocative while discussing his under age relationship with a priest,
and I did not speak out.
Even though George Taki had similar conduct.
Then they came for GAB, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a member.
Then they harassed Trump Administration People in Restaurants,
Then they came for Trump, sitting President and deplatformed him off Twitter, Facebook, E-Mail Providers, and Youtube.
Then they came for Parlor, and kicked them off the App Stores and removed their hosting.
Then they came for Trump Administration People, so they could not get jobs. Lincoln Project is putting together an online black list.
Then they came for those that attended the Election Fraud Protest in DC. 200,000 to 2 million attended. And a few, around a hundred, of them broke into the Capital Building, and were used to tar the rest and justify a night of long knives, and calls to label them as domestic terrorists and insurrectionists.
