When we won the war of Independence we didn't fly the British Flag in the US for the next 155 yrs

Then there's the Civil War. The Confederate army lost. Slavery was abolished. Yet 155 yrs later they still wanna fly the Confederate flag, worship their Generals & kill Blacks.

NO.
It's illegal to display Nazi symbols in Germany.
Holocaust denial is also illegal.
They have laws that apply to individuals, that are defenses against extremist political parties.
Germany has the legal concept of “Volksverhetzung,” the incitement to hatred...
They learned in Germany. Anyone who denigrates an individual or a group based on their ethnicity or religion, or tries to rouse hatred or promote violence against such a group or individual, faces prison.

That's what Trumps base is, a group rousing hatred & promoting violence.
Post Charlottesville Angela Merkel said “It’s racist, far-right violence, & that requires determined & forceful resistance no matter where in the world it appears”

Only 1 of the 2 US political parties is determined & forceful. Led by Trump. Allowed by GOP. They're a Hate Group.
Who'll stand up to Trump & his army?
People are in the streets demanding action.
We keep demanding action but the GOP keeps blocking it. Only 3 countries in the world currently have a constitutional right to own a gun: the US, Mexico, & Guatemala.

And we can't seem to ban hate..
In the US we've been unable to ban hate or symbols of hate & the US is the exception rather than the rule. The UK, Canada & Mexico all outlawed hate speech.

In the US we can't even guarantee free & fair elections, despite our Constitution demanding it.
And it's all led to this.
This is NOT what Democracy looks like.
We don't need words
We needed legislation
But folks like McConnell said no. He blocked votes. He refused.
We didn't get laws but now it's too late for words.
Dems must undertake forceful resistance on behalf of the majority of the people
NOW
Why wait for the inevitable?
Wait for Trumps refusal to give up power?
Wake up!
The majority of the US THINKS we're a Democracy but Trump, his Army & the GOP ACT like Fascists.
And when Fascists are in control you can't just wait for a rigged vote or play by rules they'll break.
