People "voted Hitler into power" because there were voluntary-to-attend theatrical performances at public libraries? Geez, history has gotten it all wrong. Does seeing this make you want to vote for a nazi or something?

If you’re freaked out enough about drag queens to vote for Hitler, then you deserve Hitler.

It's pretty remarkable you guys put those things together. I had no idea what the OP was driving at.

Remember my talking about 4chan's influence on current political thought? This is literally a 4chan meme.

It's literally: "It's not my fault I voted for Trump. You made me do it."

Smokey, do you have thoughts you can share with us or do you intend to be a riddle?

Maybe there are groups of people with like minds who catch some meaning here. Means nothing to me.
