#defenddemocracy — Public Fediverse posts

I have news for you:

The Brandmauer never existed.

It was always a political convenience, not a democratic principle.

The CDU does not care about the Brandmauer. It cares about power.

And once again, radicalised conservatives are doing what conservatives have done throughout history: convincing themselves that they can use fascists without empowering fascism.

They cannot.

They will.

And when democracy finally lies in ruins, they will insist they never meant for this to happen.

But history will be less forgiving.

It will remember who opened the door.

And who stood beside it, holding the keys.
