She’s declaring herself Supreme Leader, I think the picture is appropriate.

Not that Mike Godwin means anything to me, but if you’re going to lay down his “law”, at least get it right. It applies to long, heated debate in which one party calls the other “Nazi”, thus ending the utility of said debate.

It does not take any and all references to the Nazi regime off the table in discussions of government. Even if it did, you’d have to be insane to follow such a rule. Are Lenin, Stalin, and Mao off-limits too? Is there anything from the 20th century we’d be allowed to discuss under a doctrine of totalitarian neo-Godwinism?

You do understand how Goodwin’s law works don’t you?
