I was out with a friend last night. Told her I was trying to get on Trump’s enemies list. She was a bit surprised.
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.

See…. Here’s the thing. I don’t want to be the last one. I am a cis-gendered 64 year-old straight white male. My family history traces back to the Mayflower. I am descended from Asa Porter, buried in Marlborough, NH, who fought in the Revolutionary War.
Too many people are asleep, believing it’s happening to others and won’t happen to them. If it happens to enough people who identify as I do then perhaps people will wake up well before there is no one left to speak up for them.
I’ve written on this subject before:
I am “The Enemy from Within”
My Choice: Stay and Fight
I Am AntiFa
AntiFa: An Addendum
The Ugliness is the Hope.

Have no fear. Mr. Fragile Ego is now occupied in getting his (supposedly) poorly painted portrait taken down at the Colorado State House. He certainly knows his priorities. Maybe he’ll forget about deporting people.
