That’s what they want. Don’t gie them what they want.

That’s what they want. Don’t give them what they want.

You know, at some point that argument rings hollow.

Look at the evolution of Germany in the 1930s.

"That Hitler fellow tried a coup from the beer halls."

"Don't fight him, that's what they want."

"He wrote a manifesto of hate while in prison."

"Don't fight him, that's what they want.""

"He got his brownshirt troops to rough up townsfolk and intimidate them,"

"Don't fight them, that's what they want."

"He managed to seize power with the Enabling Act."

"Don't fight him, that's what they want."

"He orchestrated the Krystalnacht."

"Don't fight them, that's what they want."

"He's rounding up Jews and Gypsies and putting them in cattle cars."

"Don't fight them, that's what they want."

"He's gassing people by the millions in death camps."

"Don't fight them, that's what they want."

At what point does this become a specious argument?
