      Cult of personality shit is generally pretty damning when it reaches the point where the government itself is engaging in it at the behest of the cult leader, yes.

      If you ignore the entire context and the actual text. This is not just “putting a picture of yourself up on a wall”, and that is quite the disingenous way of describing it.

      I love that your comment is getting downvoted with 0 replies addressing what you highlighted here. There’s a flood of memes pinpointing much more serious similarities (ice/gestapo, fake news/Lügenpress, etc.) but now we are so in love with our passive resentment of the situation that we’re pretending both leaders having a face is indicative of sameness

        What a fucking dumb shit take this is. No one should be hanging their face on the department of justice, indicating who that department does justice for.

        Yeah this isn’t as severe as the other shit he’s doing but ITS STILL INDICATIVE HE WANTS TO BE LIKE HITLER. HE WANTS THE FASCIST TAKEOVER. HE WANTS TO BE KING AND HE KEEPS DOING FUCKED UP SHIT TO VARYING DEGREES

        AM I TAKING TO A BOT? what the fucking ACTUAL FUCK is wrong with you pedantic Reddit-ass libs my god people like you are the REASON we are in this mess.

          Classy stuff, chief lol

          I voted for hillary and kamela (couldn’t risk Biden vote as such would obvs lead to Trump 2024–us politics is horribly predictable so maybe am part of the problem tho)

          I hope you find peace😊

        It’s actually a surprisingly accurate indicator of a fascist takeover. People who want to be dictators want to see their face on a wall I guess.

          ahh, I see this is why my art teacher was clearly a hitlerite for having so many self-portraits in her office
