This is most probably a reference to the book "Biedermann und die Brandstifter" (Biedermann and the arsonists). It's about a man who let's arsonists into his house. They act polite and don't directly say they want to set the house on fire, but to the reader and the man who lets them in, it's very obvious that they're the criminals that have been mentioned in the newspaper, that everything they do and say is going to lead to them setting the house on fire.

It's surreal and scary and very much like reality, where citizens vote for fascists, who will destroy their country and people in the long run.
