      …to the injudicious enabler of fascists, it is pretty shitty to suggest “I hope they come for you first,” even if the point is meant to be “you helped make the bed, so I hope you’ll be on the early access list to lie in it.”

      Might be a little better to say, “I hope I can stop them from rounding you up even though you didn’t vote to keep them from being able to try.”
