When one dude goes around talking about who’s going to be tried/imprisoned/executed when he’s in power, that dude should *never* have *any* power again. Ever.
@adhdeanasl Should people who voted repeatedly for him have the vote? I mean, he's a symptom, not a disease.
@mrundkvist Being a sucker isn’t illegal, Martin. Denying anyone the vote is a step toward totalitarianism.
@adhdeanasl
True that! It's the same thing Republicans are doing to us now.

@mrundkvist There's probably no way to deny authoritarian followers franchise that wouldn't cause more damage than benefits.

It's just heartbreaking to read about the history of universal franchise in Sweden. Swedish workers went to night school in civics because they didn't want to be seen as ignorant and irresponsible when they finally got the vote. Today they have no such compunctions, and the crypto-Fascists got 21% of the parliamentary vote a year ago.

@mrundkvist Decent people must continue to enlighten others. It’s the best we can do - besides vote and remain politically active.
@riley @mrundkvist @adhdeanasl at least, not one that preserves the positions that authoritarians want to occupy.
@mrundkvist @adhdeanasl Unfortunately, probably no dem will ever agree, but you're also kinda right.
