Niemller in the age of Trump, 2019 Edition

First he came for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and I did not speak out because I am not a Latina, Latino, Puerto Rican, whatever the hell she calls herself, bartender from New York who thinks shes all that and doesnt know her place or listen to Pelosi, even though I hate her too and thinks shes a communist who wants open borders. I am a hard-working Irish bar owner from New York who digs the flag and I dont dwell on the fact that in the 19th Century, after the potato blight, when thousands of my people, starving Irish, were arriving on our shores, good, patriotic Americans claimed Great Britain was not sending its best people, not like the hard-working Scotch-Irish who came to this country in earlier times. Now, those were immigrants.

They loved the place and didnt take, take, take. Then he came for Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and I did not speak out because I am not a Somalian refuge who came here after four years of living in a Kenyan refugee camp (Like so what? We all have it rough) and then worked hard to achieve her own America success story.

I am a German, born in St. Paul, whos never been to Africa (and, frankly, dont want to go) and I worked really hard but because Im not a woman or black, it wasnt enough; still, nobody gave me nothing so, no, as a matter of fact, we have nothing in common and I dont remember anyone in America calling me a Kraut or blaming me for Hitlers atrocities or questioning my patriotism because my birth land was on the opposite side of America in two world wars and even if they did, that was completely different.Then he came for Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and I did not speak out because I am not an African American representative who quit school to help support the single mother who raised me.

I am a well-off child of suburbia and my parents great Christians who love each other and their families and where, by the way, is the African American male? Probably doing drugs helped with college, along with a generous state education system, so, yeah, Im kind of tired of minorities getting all the handouts. What about my struggle?

Then he came for Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and I did not speak out because I am not a Palestinian whose father worked for Ford to support his family. I am a Pole whose father worked for Ford to support his family (see the difference, libs?) who with my tax dollars sent Talalababba through law school so she can sue America and, believe you me, the abuse I hear with the Polak jokes and the racist stereotypes about how I, and my people, are subhuman and intellectually inferior is much worse than anything this Mooslem bit*h is going through.

Then he came for me and there was no one left to speak for me actually, hold up, there are only a few of yall coming after me and fuck you people. You dont scare me. I dont believe in handouts, anyway, or help and I think people like Dinesh DSouza see, hes Indian and I like him, so I cant be racist and Mitch McConnell are right: Help your damn self and love the country youre lucky enough to be in, damn turban heads and socialists.

How dare you criticize the country or, more importantly, the president when you come from a place where women cant drive, you have to do your laundry down by the river, and you get your hand cut off for stealing shit? We should do that here, so people wont want to come. One more thing.

If theyre coming for you, hell, you probably deserve it
