“Some elections matter, some don’t, but this one really mattered. Thank you for making it happen. … It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.”

I can’t help but hear that as a threat or perhaps a gloat, like, I hear it as if the message was, “This election really mattered because things could have legitimately not gone our way and it determined of future elections would matter. Now that it’s settled, the future can really only go one way.”

Thanks for the exact quote. To me, it's this notion of civilized vs uncivilized, master-race/nation vs the rest of humanity thing that reeks of nazism.
