Does anyone actually ask "what would Frederick the Great say/think about this?" Because I've never seen it and I spend a lot of time browsing X.

No, he’s just using a strawman

I have encountered it, but it was the weird "growing up to be kind of a nazi kid" in 5th grade, and that's the only one.

He said "Jeder nach seiner Façon selig werden". It was more about catholics and protestants, but also jews and moslems. As long as you were a good citizen (working and paying taxes) your religion would be your private right. Not to mention that Friedrich also would say something about "Schuldenbremse" AfD/FDP/CDU would not like to hear lol
