Can we not have an existential threat to democracy every four years? That would be neat. Here's an idea, actually fucking punish people who already tried to overthrow the government, and have promised to do it again. It's utterly crazy that he is in the running again instead of behind bars.

Now you know how two thirds of Germans felt in 1933.

Hitler should have been hanged for trying to overthrow the government, but instead got just a cozy few months in prison (where he wrote Mein Kampf).

Also a reminder that the Germans who couldn’t be bothered to vote in that election didn’t get a chance to do so again for over a decade. And that was assuming they were even still alive after the holocaust and war.

Just a reminder. Nazis did a trial run for Holocaust on political prisoners. In Germany.
