Franz von Papen
@kanzlerfranz.bsky.social
Former chancellor of Germany (1932). Reactionary militarist, crypto-monarchist, and enabler extraordinaire. Acquitted at Nuremberg!
This threat is on the money. And I would know.
The first weeks of the second Tr•mp administration are so full of historical parallels to an earlier “seizure of power” that it’s hard to know where to begin or stop. None of them are exact – historical parallels never are – but they can help us understand the magnitude of the trouble we are in.

Has Germany finally found its new Franz von Papen?

For the first time in recent German history, the center-right CDU is turning to the far-right AfD for votes to pass an anti-migrant bill in the Bundestag - a significant step in breaking down the firewall against far-right participation in German governing coalitions. www.politico.eu/article/germ...
Merz’s anti-migration drive triggers backlash over far-right support
Germany’s likely next chancellor wants tougher migration measures even with AfD support, triggering a fierce pre-election debate.

By Jove, I think I've found a worthy successor!

They'd have been closer to the mark naming her office after me
