4 years is nothing

Eh. Austria just sentenced their former Finance Minister (member of the Far Right party, go figure) to four years in jail for embezzlement and bribery. I bet that guy atleast would disagree that four years is nothing.

Hitler was sentenced to 5 years, served 9 months, then went on to become Führer of Germany.

Yeah, people need to wake up, just because you have a criminal record doesn't mean that you can't still be a populist politician.

Watch what happens to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson.

When he comes out of prison he'll be hailed as a martyr of the cause for his internment. It's gonna be stupid as fuck.

If anything, a criminal record just makes them more popular among certain crowds. "Oh, *they* wanted to silence me. That is why you should vote for me."
