Brilliantly written. Best line IMO, “Silenced voices and empty stomachs are fuel for the very extremism you claim to oppose. “. Like Mr. Sachs, I, too, live and work here in Silicon Valley but was raised in a Midwestern town. The single track way of thinking among Coastal elites is killing this country. I truly believe my neighbors have no regard for “flyover” states & low vaccination rates.

Deplatforming these people is the means to justify the end. This has to be how it begun during the Holocaust too. While I hate to make that comparison, the parallels seem real.

You aren't wrong. If you would like to know it is not difficult to find filmed performances of this play. It recounts the experiences of two survivors. And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank. By James Still. The thing that struck me, as different from other plays I had seen regarding the Holocaust was its detailing of the steps taken to get there.

Great reference. And that is exactly what is happening. They, the woke totalitarian mob, will come for everyone. Everyone.
