When will they come for you?

I see our current President has already answered my question from last week about whether we were going to be able to vote for our congress critters next year:
Maybe not.
And now they’re disappearing students and others in our country perfectly legally for the apparent “crime” of exercising their free speech rights guaranteed under our Constitution.
The words of Martin Niemoller, a Lutheran Pastor who was sent into the concentration camps of Nazi Germany ring truer every day:
“The people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians –”should I be my brother’s keeper?”
Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said “Perhaps it’s right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn’t it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]?” Only then did the church as such take note.
Then we started talking, until our voices were silenced in public. Can we say, we aren’t guilty/responsible?
… “We preferred to keep silent. We are certainly not without fault, and I ask myself again and again, what would have happened, if in the year 1933 or 1934 – there must have been a possibility – 14,000 Protestant pastors and all Protestant communities in Germany had defended the truth until their deaths? If we had said back then, it is not right when Hermann Göring simply puts 100,000 Communists in the concentration camps, in order to let them die. I can imagine that perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 Protestant Christians would have had their heads cut off, but I can also imagine that we would have rescued 30–40 million people, because that is what it is costing us now.”
Every day that goes by, this collection of inexperienced and incompetent brutes supporting the overly wealthy and under-taxed overlords who control our internet, our satellites, and now our government, take us further down the road to what happened to Germany and Japan.  The rest of the world is going to gang up on us and bring a very expensive end to this experiment in stupidity called “MAGA.”
