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.

    If you really want to make a difference, get involved in an organization instead of fantasizing about being some lone wolf that takes down an individual to magically solve systemic problems.

    The whole point of the movie is the mobilaziation of the people. The mask is just a symbol.

    Also, as I said, I am not American. I am active in my country, but I have no reason to get involved in American politics (aside from stupid posts on social media 😅).

      A symbol for what? The mask has been used by both the left and right in the US. Just protesting and power in numbers generally? Alas, the presidential election is not determined by popular vote. What would it mean to somebody who saw it at the polling location? Probably there’s some weirdo here. What politician would notice it? Absolutely zero.

      Mobilization for what? I think you’re missing something important with that idea.
