    First 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 for me.

      That’s not actually related to my point though. This is more like:

      First they tweeted offensive things about women, and I made sure that thing they tweeted is now the only thing we talk about.

      Then we couldn’t talk about all the women dying of not getting abortions on time because we’re too busy talking about tweets.
