    Maybe also consider bribery convictions and we might get rid of a few CDU/CSU politicians as well 🙃

      By far not the same level as extremism.

      Fck little sister of whataboutism, the self-elevating sarcasm.

          This is a slippery slope fallacy I believe. Stop with the fallacious reasoning

            Not really. Governing through bribery is a way to implement plutocracy.

            To be clear: “I tolerate plutocracy but I draw the line at fascism” is a valid opinion, even if I don’t agree with it. I was just asking if that’s the opinion held by our fellow lemming.
