To the MAGATS out there who are worshiping at the altar of tRump and cheering on the violence, cruelty and arrests look up Ernst Rohm and the night of the long knives.

Ernst was not immune from Hitler and Nazi violence even though he was the head of the brown shirts and worked shoulder to shoulder with Hitler. When he was perceived to be a threat Hitler ordered his murder and he was shot to death during the Nazi purge known as the night of the long knives.

Those of you who think you're immune from tRump's violence because you think you're a member of the club, you will find out that eventually they will come for you. One thing about autocracy is it never stops feeding and finding enemies. Many of you will be labeled enemies and you will disappear. You better wake up now before the nightmare comes for you!

“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”

Was twice, so not a typo. "altars" are in churches, places of worship". "alter" in this post is a nounification (nominalization) of the verb "to modify, to change".
