"Wrong" isn't even a fraction of it. She kicked everyone off the grounds, changed all the rules, tortured students (and others knew it) and literally started hanging up Nazi rule plaques. It was a hostile takeover where she silenced, banned, and abused everyone. And you're going to tell me nobody— no students, no professors— are going to stand against her? Being appointed won't mean shit when you are literally torturing, backing into a corner, and banning an opposition with this much power and unhappiness. In any reasonable situation, they would fight back. She was just one stupid, powerless woman with no soldiers at her command against hundreds of powerful wizards and witches, many of them adults.
And stop comparing it to "2020". I don't even know what the eff that means.
These aren't adults who need food and housing. These are a bunch of teenagers including rebellious sorts against a single asshole with very little actual power besides a title. Also they have (probably angry) parents?
What the hell have you been drinking?
If they fight back, they’re go to Azkaban.
JK was writing about how evil happens is it comes from top. As such if the professors fought back, they’d be an enemy of the state and sent to Azkaban.
She was powerful because the system backed her. Had the anyone attacked her, aurors would have come to save her.
The 2020 reference is a lame attempt to attack Trump. The two are not comparable. Everything worked as it should have. So it’s the exact opposite of what JK was writing about.
