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.

    What has Trump actually done that screams “I am an outright villain for this nation, fear me”?

    Do you mean besides the evil plan (project 2025), his explicit statements of becoming “president for life”/overstepping the bounds of the 2-term presidency, talking about jailing his opponents (including some republicans), his associates calling for violence, his lawyers referencing immunity to political violence (military assasination of a political rival), and an actual insurrection by his followers?

      That’s not “his” evil plan (which doesn’t even include the president for life part, that was wishful thinking out loud), and the part about jailing opponents is mainly related to those who exploited due process in the political sphere in the past eight years. Which, although Trump is not himself innocent, many, many people did, both for one side and the other (think the Biden family trials, which any normal person would see as parallel to the Trump trials), but with this kind of thing never going anywhere, even for state governors.

      As for the rest, are we really going to hold someone accountable just because of their toxic fandom? That’s the mistake many are trying not to make with all the involved sides. I for one criticize presidents by, I don’t know, their policies and broken promises (e.g. Trump’s military inclusion protocol).

        Fair, but as the puppet in this theater of government takeover, he is culpable.

        which doesn’t even include the president for life part, that was wishful thinking out loud

        Clearly, him wishing to be a dictator does not concern you…

        the part about jailing opponents is mainly related to those who exploited due process in the political sphere in the past eight years

        Can you outline these for me, with some references? The list is:

        • Joe Biden
        • Kamala Harris
        • Mitch McConnell
        • Chuck Schumer
        • Mike Pence
        • Liz Cheney

        are we really going to hold someone accountable just because of their toxic fandom?

        Absolutely, when he stands by them.
