    Why isn’t this considered treason? They fucking lost. Wtf isn’t any confederate symbolism illegal and punishable by prison time? I’d support this. Also same thing for nazi shit. Didn’t Germany make all nazi shit illegal?

      Our leaders have a history of letting them live to stop the killing. They did the same thing after WWII. Thanks to nuclear bomb wet dreams, many of those nazi’s ended up in high positions within the govt., eventually.

      We won’t make the same mistake this time.

      Basic rule on policymaking: don’t give yourself powers you wouldn’t want your opponents to have.

      Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law for my own safety’s sake!

      Sacrificing basic civil liberties when they don’t suit you is a threat to everyone. Their willingness to do that is why everyone hates authoritarians. It’s cutting off your nose to spite your face.

      There are better ways to beat these shitheads.

        Whats your view on Germany then? They have laws prohibiting nazi symbols and holocaust denial, which includes prison time. Are they authoritarian because of this?

        Do explain. It seems to me they’re winning. These are the types that support trump, and trump not only won, but he won the popular vote.
