    Them in 2016: “He’s not LITERALLY a fascist”

    Them in 2024: “Okay he’s openly announcing his intent to be a dictator and get rid of the ‘others’ who are ‘poisoning our blood’, but unless it’s from the Bavarian area of Germany, it’s just sparkling authoritarianism. Besides, Biden is just as bad!”

      The Bavarian area of Germany?

      Hitler was Austrian and at least in Germany people use this saying with Italian Mussolini style fascism or even just German

      I know it started in Munich but calling it Bavarian in origin is a bit unusual

        Oh, I see you’re in Germany. Well, that probably didn’t come across the same as it did here. Sorry - carry on.
