Carnival float from yesterday's parade in Cologne

Edit: Düsseldorf, apparently. But Kölsch is still better than Alt

Here's another one of the Carnival floats:

Oh Germany, you really get us. Can we let Germans vote in the next US election? After all, we're already letting Russia take a hand.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 42 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Actually, we have about as many Nazi fuckwits by percentage as the US. The difference is that we don't let them leverage 30% into an electoral majority.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

And again I call for Germans to vote in our general election. :)

Germany is more familiar than most about what the GOP has become.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ye, you could say we have insider information

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of course, It Can't Happen Here.

Bold of German to assume that this guy could use a pair of scissors

[–] SteefLem@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wish he would run with scissors :)

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] SteefLem@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well stumbling and falling face down on the scissors is fine with me

They say being struck by lightning is an act of god.

Do you think the secret service would notice, if I set up giant Tesla coils near his rally podium?

[–] SteefLem@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

If you paint his face on it or even a mirror in front he would probably even touch it

A "great Weird Al album" is a bit redundant, isn't it?

[–] Treczoks@kbin.social 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Instead of tearing this down after yesterdays' carnival, maybe they should send it on a tour through the US.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago

Everyone already knows. His supporters like it.

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

That would get him just more votes.

[–] Vittelius@feddit.de 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually that's from the parade in Düsseldorf

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago

Oops. Posted a correction.

[–] Skua@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Me, a fucking dumbass apparently:

  • Okay so he cut out the Austrian flag. Why?
  • White-red-white is an old Belarusian one. Still not getting this
  • Who has a flag that's all blue with white stars?
  • Oh holy shit it's a swastika
[–] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 2 years ago

I saw it in an other post where the perspective made it less obvious and I thought it was about how Trump is tearing the states apart, I guess it's both.

Ha ha ha that was a long way to get there

The artist failed to capture his fatness/femininity

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Hands are too big and he’s back on safety scissors after a court order.

Makeup, high heels, general softness, delicate hands

I dunno. Float rental fees might be helpful.

We could maybe set up a thing with UK's Diaper Trump, too.

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought it was illegal to display anything Nazi related in public?

[–] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only if the display is meant to glorify or show support for Nazis, which can but doesn't have to be displaying a swastika.

This is clearly criticism and satire, so it's covered under artistic freedom.

Interesting, danke! 🙂
