A political cartoon set in a gold-toned Oval Office. Stephen Miller sits rigidly in a chair a few feet from a blank wall, facing it in profile with arms folded and legs tightly crossed, wearing a dark suit and tall polished black leather boots. In the foreground, two aides stand close together. One man says, “POTUS wouldn’t let him declare today National Reichstag Remembrance Day.” On the wall near Miller hangs a sharply pressed Nazi uniform on a hanger with a red armband. The tone is restrained and unsettling rather than comedic.
On this day in 1933, the #Reichstagfire occurred. Within days, Hitler used it to justify sweeping emergency powers.
Some ideas are always looking for a second act.
