17. Oh, really...were the protesters at the 1968 Democratic Convention "Democratic Socialists" too?

What excuse did they use for them at the time? Radical hippies. Unfortunately, for the corrupt corporate owned MSM, the people already know what Democratic Socialism is...their scare tactics mean jack shit.

The African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Disabled and Women had every damn right to protest Trumps HATE SPEECH RALLY. They had every right to be angry about what he has said about them and TRUMP SUPPORTERS are just as much to blame because they attend his HATE SPEECH RALLIES.

He has the Freedom to spew his hate and protesters have the freedom to answer it by protesting his HATE WHEREVER HE SPEWS IT.

This is exactly how HITLER rose to power and if this shit isn't nipped in the bud RIGHT NOW, we could end up with a FASCIST in the White House!

If you think that's hyperbole, think again and read a history book about the rise of Hitler.


"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Niemöller
