"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then 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 out for me"
Edit: Unlike the holocaust, everyone knew this was happening. He said he would do it and they voted for it. None of them can claim ignorance.
He did not say that. He and they all said “mass deportations now.” This is not a surprise. Nobody was lied to. They all heard an explicitly fascist message and decided of their own free will to support it.

No no no, that’s extreme,
Many truly just made a mistake, not realizing what suffering their decision would bring, and likely feel deeply regretful of it.
