18. Germany learned it's lesson about letting hate groups masquerade

as political parties hiding behind jingoistic patriotism.

You, apparently, have not.

When a group/party has a history like this, banning is appropriate.

Our constitution won't let us ban hate groups from masquerading as political parties, but we damn well better have a way to call them out and name them for what they are. We'd better be prepared for having conversations about what this all means and use Germany's historic bad example.

Except, we're there right now and it's not happening. In fact, the current hate group masquerading as a political party is banning history and books that might undercut their hate.

It's time to wake up and start smelling the flowers that are being prepared to adorn the casket of democracy.
