Them in 2016: "He's not LITERALLY a fascist"

Them in 2024: "Okay he's openly announcing his intent to be a dictator and get rid of the 'others' who are 'poisoning our blood', but unless it's from the Bavarian area of Germany, it's just sparkling authoritarianism. Besides, Biden is just as bad!"

Rock solid Democrat state here. Had a few nuts in local elections but kept firmly in check.

The Bavarian area of Germany?

Hitler was Austrian and at least in Germany people use this saying with Italian Mussolini style fascism or even just German

I know it started in Munich but calling it Bavarian in origin is a bit unusual

Maybe a reference to the München putsch?

It’s just a skooch of humor, not an academic treatise.

Oh, I see you’re in Germany. Well, that probably didn't come across the same as it did here. Sorry - carry on.

Bavaria is the Texas of Germany; the only state most foreigners know of.
