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.

No. The answer to Trump is not anarchism.

Second, those masks are associated with a whole bunch of events I wouldn't want to associate with. They were also worn at the Jan. 6 riots.

Third, I've seen firsthand how much those masks piss cops off. If I were to attend some event, I might want to cover my face. I wouldn't do it with a glaring, neon "shoot me now" Guy Fawkes mask.

I'd add a fourth-

The last thing that needs to happen is for people to be too intimidated to vote.
