      They didn’t have any elections for most of the 40s because in the 30s, they voted in a rightwing dictator who liked to whine about fake news, blame all our problems on minorities and LGBTQ people, and who had previously attempted and failed to throw a coup. Sounds familiar, actually, now that you bring it up… Maybe we should have kept Trump out of power…

        Wrong. Hitler lost the election, but Hindenburg and the social democrats handed him the reins of power anyway, because liberals are worse than useless: they’re complicit.
