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.

First they came for the journalists.
Then … um, I don’t really know what happened after that.
Well, someone obviously took them. Haven’t seen any for years.
lol XD
Not about this OP but a test to see if a problem I’ve had commenting recurs.
For the test text I’m using my comment to PG about the problem.
I have twice tried to post a comment to the Dumpster Fire OP and in both cases I got a message “You Can No Longer Edit This Comment” after I attempted an edit and when I refreshed the page there was nothing there. I’m not sure whether they are sitting waiting for moderation or have vanished entirely but as I wrote a brilliant – and long – commentary on the OP I’m a bit disappointed.
