    Too little, too late. You can’t ban a 30% party and expect democracy to hold.

        “Sorry, the Nazis are at 30%, nothing we can do. We’ll just die then.”

        1. What you said.
        2. You really should.
        3. You need to make sure to educate people so that they don’t fall prey to populist assholes.
        4. Politicians need to address people’s needs and fears instead of whatever the hell our current government is doing at the moment.
