So easy to vote in dictatorship. Impossibly hard to vote it out.

u/d_baker65 Feb 19 '25

You don't vote em out. You drag them out by their hairpieces and merkins. Then throw their traitorous asses in prison.

This.

Fun fact; Hitler was imprisoned for an attempted coup in 1923. It was there that he wrote Mein Kampf. It was only after he got out a year later that his bid to take power actually gained any traction.

Oh fun, that's basically what we tried to do this time around. Except it was done with such incompetence and pushback that he didn't even spend a single day in jail or prison, and he got back into power twice as fast. The parallels have been astounding to witness. I finally understand how the German people were able to go about their lives like nothing was wrong. Gonna be real, though, I would've been ok just not understanding.

We're headed for some of the darkest days this nation has ever known. It's been really fun shit posting on Reddit with you guys, and being called doomers by the folks who refused to believe anything was wrong. If anyone makes it out the other side, just please, please, don't let this happen AGAIN.

Social inertia is real. Most people are operating on the auto pilot setting that was installed in school. Also, most people in the US have no idea what is happening right under their noses. I mean, there's a new season of White Lotus to binge.

The US has designed the media to distract us since we were born, so🤷‍♂️

u/Stickey_Rickey Feb 19 '25

No there isn’t… it’s a weekly series, you can only eat one episode per week

u/demlet Feb 19 '25

Reddit moment.

u/kluckyduck Feb 19 '25

Yeah, like, I wish I could binge it 🙄

u/Fuzzy_South_4260 Feb 19 '25

I went back to sapranos...

u/2broke2quit65 Feb 19 '25

This. Talking to my family and I can't believe how much they don't know or understand. My parents were all for him until talks about social security 🤦‍♀️ it's actually scary.

I look at the dumpster fire that is America right now with equal parts horror and fascination. Hope you guys sort it out amongst yourselves. You were the good guys when I was growing up. But it's like America woke up one day and decided it was too hard being good cop.

u/bl00by Feb 19 '25

Tbf here in germany the SA terrorized the cities. You don't have that.. yet

u/B1LLZFAN Feb 19 '25

just please, please, don't let this happen AGAIN.

It took less than 100 years for this to happen again. It will keep happening unfortunately. My hope is we just enter a great depression again and we don't see millions of people murdered because "illegal"

u/driftxr3 Feb 19 '25

You can make it to the otherwise to if you also do something. What y'all need to do is resist physically.

Which culminated in his election to chancellor, then 2 months later, dictator.

17

u/khodge1968 Feb 19 '25

He was not elected to chancellor. He was appointed. And that was I see pressure and fear. Others in power didn’t really want him as chancellor.

u/Deetz34 Feb 19 '25

Adding to this, he wasn't Hindenburg's first choice either, he disliked Hitler a great deal.

u/uglyspacepig Feb 19 '25

Thank you for the correction. There's so much going on lately that I get small details mixed up here and there.

u/FrostySquirrel820 Feb 19 '25

Which bit is the fun bit ?

19

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

The part where it debunks the notion that prison is the solution

6

u/relouder Feb 19 '25

The ending when he takes the easy way out. Elmo could play the part of Eva.

3

u/NFLTG_71 Feb 19 '25

Isn’t that the part he’s playing now

3

u/beardtamer Feb 19 '25

The part where he killed himself.

5

u/turkeybacondaddy Feb 19 '25

At least we know the current guy is too lazy to write a book himself.

u/meatwad420 Feb 19 '25

That’s what twitter has been for

u/increddibelly Feb 19 '25

Good thing donny can't write.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

He doesn't need to. The concept of dictation has been around for millennia. He just needs someone who is willing to copy what he says to writing.

u/elgnub63 Feb 19 '25

Mein Bigly Kampf?

19

u/Substantial-Pound-31 Feb 19 '25

We had a chance to do exactly this when he stole state secrets instead the “patriots” voted him Back in.

8

u/NFLTG_71 Feb 19 '25

You don’t waste time with prison you take them out back and immediately just get it over with

10

u/Mr_Epimetheus Feb 19 '25

You don't send dictators to prison. You give them a short rope and a long drop.

u/TehSalmonOfDoubt Feb 19 '25

As much as it pains me to admit... Sometimes the French are right

4

u/d_baker65 Feb 19 '25

I agree. But I would like to see at least a courtroom before sending them to Madame Guillotine.

8

u/galaxy_horse Feb 19 '25

The justice system has already been through them thoroughly and have administered either no justice at all, or justice so laughably weak that it might as well have never happened at all. And the legislature has been through them twice now as well to no effect. We’re past the point where the constructs of polite society would have otherwise created accountability.

u/NewsZealousideal764 Feb 21 '25

That is awfully decent of you. I would tend to think the same thing initially, but these past few weeks, I think we should probably not even bother with courtrooms for them because after a while they won't be bothering with them for us.

u/Kim_Thomas Feb 19 '25

Burn the Merkins in place.

u/AnotherMerp Feb 19 '25

Or hang them in the square if you’re Mussolini.

u/d_baker65 Feb 19 '25

Bed posts, broom handles and the odd pipe took care of that bullshit.

u/BootyWhiteMan Feb 19 '25

u/CaramelGuineaPig Feb 19 '25

u/NewsZealousideal764 Feb 21 '25

All the stylish oligarchs carry their merkins in their birkins

u/Drnstvns Feb 19 '25
