    Unironically the correct thing to do, historically speaking. It was the “lesser evil” candidate who won and appointed Hitler as chancellor, which allowed him to seize power.

    “If only they hadn’t rallied around the lesser evil candidate, then the Nazis could’ve gotten into power even earlier!” - MLs, unironically, it would seem. Unless you’ve forgotten who Hindenburg was running against.

    Fucking insane. Wanting Nazism to come into power as soon as possible so it can start murdering people even earlier. Just mask-off fascism from you lot, huh?

      They’re the sort of .ml user who is so deep into the propaganda they deny China has done any human rights abuses at all (and none to Uyghurs in specific). It’s hard to consider anything they write as good faith.

      And, indeed, if I look it up, it leads me to wonder: if the NSDAP were not the largest party in the Reichstag at the time (perhaps one means of this happening would have been people voting for lesser evils!) it may not have happened.
