       The "first they came for" poem is by an actual (regretful) Nazi talking about how he feels bad about being an asshole. It is not a historical document outlining their tactics. They did not act sequentially but deployed violence from the very start against every enemy they could reach.  They foundationally hated Jews.Their ideological heirs have largely the same targets and the same motivations but we're not in a perfect parallel. This is important, especially to Jews. As we build solidarity now, we need to be there for each other and know when to listen. In general, many Jews are very knowledgeable about historical fascism and we should listen to them, whereas many trans people are more aware of what's happening now to LGBT people in many countries.We can listen to each other and protect each other. There are more of us than there are of them. We can win now if we stand together.
