"None of them knew or cared about how many weeks in [sic] Germany’s abortion ban starts, or whether parental consent is required to get an abortion in Denmark."

And why would they? This is merely the fallacy of Pointing to another Wrong. Wrong is still wrong, even if you can find a bigger one being committed somewhere irrelevant to the case at hand.

I recognise much of myself in this article. Not just the good parts. Today's vote may settle the matter, or many matters, but the basic mistake running through the whole article is that it compares the Orange Shitgibbon to the Hitler we knew about after 1945. The useful comparison, which the scholars and alarmists alike recognise, is the Hitler or Mussolini of the 1930s.

If you know enough of that history, there is more than enough fuel for trepidation today. So let's hope today (Time Capsule here: US election day 2020) pours fire retardant on it.
