    Remember the poem? ‘First they came for the communists’. They never came for the liberals, they worked with them. There has always been a difference, and there will always be a difference.

      “Fun” fact about the quote (or poem) you refer to: It’s by Martin Niemöller and meant in a self critical way. He was a conservative Christian and really couldn’t bother about godless communists or Jews. Only when they came after him we woke up.
