Not an American, but I just noticed that the election day is on the 5th of November. Given the similarities between Trump and the chancellor, it seems like a good opportunity to remind people what is coming if they vote for Trump.

For those who haven’t watched V for Vendetta, do it, the reference will make sense.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason

Why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

If rules can be bent to the point of it being a defense, their mere existence ceases to be an effective enough topic of debate, since their acceptance can just be met with concern that they won’t be adhered to as intended. If he is going to arrest anyone over a “big lie” agenda (or for anything else), it’s also worth pointing out it’s not like they’re not going to get a court hearing for it, it’s not like they’re going to wake up one day and be like “well I guess I’m in jail now”. Relatedly, it’s by the same logic as not rejecting “lap dogs” based on their characteristic that we can’t automatically assume he’s going to accept people as model members of his fandom just because they follow him.
