General Discussion

Validating legal parties and invalidating illegal agendas of destructive parties is not quashing free speech which only has an easy price tag for oligarchs who currently buy the government. So Germany disqualifying anti-Constitutional parties is the same as Hitler? Limiting hate speech in any way harms the public good and their rights? Forming organizations to overthrow the Bill of Rights and allowing them a place on the ballot? Money is free speech over here and it reigns. This has been going on for much of the nation's history, a history of democracy in steep decline from its avowed and well protected enemies. This country jails some heads of small parties occasionally, games and suppresses others. Gerrymanders voters to insignificance. Does not protect public discourse or fairness. Assumes what it does not have.

I only think NOISING an obvious foreign precedent would signal the Nazis in GOP clothing that crime has consequences. They certainly are considering doing that to the pesky Democratic party in place of hopelessly convincing any majority of the nation to their side. I am talking of a legal response to an illegally purposed political organization. Only, of course, this German legal option does not exist in this country where, absurdly, what is happening can't happen here.
