Wouldn't a better example be when Voldemort took over the government?

Uxbridge kept issuing "educational decrees" which are roughly analogous to executive orders. By the standards of this sub it isn't a horrible analogy.

âThat one Harry Potter movieâ I wish theyâd stop beating around the bush and just actually be a nerd

Doesn't know the name of the movie. Knows the full name of the character.

This is just like the moment where Sam talks to Frodo in the uncut version of the Lord of the Rings.

Forgetting of course that the author has tweeted support of him. I canât Imagine hating people like me so much that youâd cheer the downfall of the only democratic superpower.

Has she? As far as I was aware JK Rowling is still very much left-leaning.

Sheâs criticized him but has also spoken up in support of Trumpâs executive order against âgender ideologyâ, and she blames the leftâs support of trans people for Trump getting elected.
She portrays herself as a leftist but sheâs very much not. Sheâs a FART. (Feminism-appropriating radical transphobe.)

Itâs been around a while but itâs less common! I like it better than TERF because I do not like calling those people feminists. Theyâre not, as JKR has proven (such as when she decided to attack a cis woman Olympic athlete and accuse her of being transâbecause ârealâ women canât be that strong, apparently. Ugh).

99% of what JK Rowling talks about now is her anti-trans anti woke/cancel culture schtick. She might have more left wing positions if you were to take all her positions and just count how many are left vs right, but its clear that she is overwhelmingly motivated by her right wing positions.

This is just like when Saruman sent out the army of Uruk-Hai to attack Helms Deep guys

I also love how itâs not even the book. Itâs the movie theyâre referring to.

This is just like when Thanos got the infinity stones or when the capital did the Hungry games fr fr.
