    You’re right. But using the very much acceptable (by the population) form of bigotry against Muslims was always going to be the starting point.

    It’s really easy to start with the “terrorist” labeling and expand it to mean any group. Which is now in the form of “antifa”. Another vague term like “terrorist” that they can slap onto anyone that they want so your grandma and my uncle will feel safe.

      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
