2019 Version

First they came for the Muslims, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Then they came for the poor’s healthcare, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Then they came for people of color, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Then they came for the migrants and put children in cages and camps, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Then they came for sexually assaulted women, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Then they came for LGBTQ+ and equal rights, and the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans did not say stop it.

Whom will they come for next and have the Evangelical Christians and Elected Republicans once again not say stop it?

And when will they stop calling themselves Christians?

Let’s, meaning all who know right from wrong and what it really means to be and act Christ-like, make sure we all come together in 2020 at the ballot box to say, “STOP IT!“
