Like Trump himself is gonna walk up to your house and try to arrest you, tough guy. He wouldn't even know your name. You'd just be another poor schmuck on a list getting their ass dragged off to jail by the cops or the feds. The truly scary part is that if it comes to that, no one would be able to help you. By that point, everyone will be too afraid of what is happening and/or completely powerless to do anything but quietly hope they're not next.
Tell that to the thousands who helped smuggle people out of insanely shitty situations. I think they even made a movie about one...someone's list, mmm it's slipping my tongue.
Yeah, but the story there is that most people didn't get smuggled out.
I know it's anecdotal, but if you read writers of that era, a lot of biographies end up with "and he died in a concentration camp".
Or the poet whose last work was the poem "Forced March". He didn't make it to the camp, died in a ditch.
Most people affected didn't make it out, and most people didn't have the courage to help.
It’s the scariest part about fascism.
Most people won’t lift a finger for you even if you are a civilian being lined up to get shot with your wife and child.
And yet there ARE stories that also end in "they got married and had a giant family and died of old age." To deny these are to deny the survivors and the people who helped.
