No, Neimoller is a very apt comparison here.
Not for the poem.
He too was a happy Nazi collaborator right up until it was convenient for him to not be.
Wonder who that sounds like....(Clue: it's the membership of this obvious face saving effort)

I’m continually astounded that any woman or any minority would join them - even temporarily to make a buck. I started sharing Neimoller ten years ago, hoping that people would see history repeating. I had no idea how dumb and how brainwashed this country is. They aren’t safe and they’re clueless.

Behind the Bastards this week is about Martin Neimöller (First they came, etc. author) and apparently he was a MILITANT Lutheran, and this joke was 100% made. 😂

realistically what other choices does that leave a trans woman like me? vote for people who help you but me to die? how many times do you think that calculus works before you run face first into that Martin Neimoller poem?

vote red, suddenly you care

true or false:
talarico turning on trans people in an shallow attempt to win is essentially following the Neimoller poem willingly
“first they came for xyz group, but i didn’t speak up cause i thought i could win some middle voters between fascism and anti fascism.”

Exactly. Everybody conveniently forgets that Neimoller was happy to see the communists and trade unionists rounded up. His only beef was that they eventually came for him.

having frank discussions about this phenomenon is somewhat complicated by the fact that martin neimoller had famously rancid vibes.
Usually when you do something like throw trans people to the fascists, the fascists stop there as that’s all they wanted.
They CERTAINLY aren’t empowered even further. That’s for sure.

Yes. Neimoller was a conservative who only realized the destructive patterns of the Nazis too late.
He has a lot in common with the liberals in the USA today. (They also hate communists and socialists - even though we don't have armies)

Liberal democrats who aren’t trans and don’t have any trans people in their lives they care about after reading the Neimoller poem :
“Bullshit. They come for a few groups and then they stop and everything is fine.”
“Bullshit. They come for a few groups and then they stop and everything is fine.”
I think it's fine to not always Vote Blue No Matter Who — I myself voted third party instead of for Andrew Cuomo in two consecutive general elections. I think saying that you should be immune to even potentially receiving criticism for doing this is ridiculous though.

Have you read Male Fantasies? I found its attempt to tease out the differences between Neimöller and his freikorps peers (who never broke with the Nazis) quite interesting

I hate it when people think of Neimöller as a, like, David Frum type. Yes, he was in the freikorps. Yes, he voted for the Nazis (3 elections). But then he suffered, and repented, and went on to shake Ho Chi Minh's hand, and he didn't pretend to be anything other than a guilty man
