    Dear “traditional” Conservatives:

    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. (<—YOU ARE HERE)

        “Traditional conservatism” has always been explicitly racist.

          “Traditional” conservatism was always the veneer to hide behind.
