      Who said that? They’re suggesting that, since you’re putting restrictions, you might as well add other restrictions that also make sense.

        Yeah but clearly the original comment is ironic since it addresses CDU as corrupt. You know, one of the two parties that would be main drivers behind the suggested extremists banning?

        Soo it kind of looks like whataboutism.
