Aaron van Wirdum on Nostr: The steelman version of this argument is that German voters wouldn't elect someone ...
The steelman version of this argument is that German voters wouldn't elect someone with such authoritarian tendencies *again*, because they've learned their lesson.
I don't buy it myself, and it's certainly too much of a risk to take... But at the same time I'd say there's at least _some_ truth to it, and I could kind of see how a reasonable person might come to this conclusion.
