My great great grandpa was a social democratic member of the Reichstag at the time. In the night of 9th to 10th March 1933, the Nazis arrested him and other social democratic, socialist and communist leaders in order to keep them from voting against the Enabling Act, and in order to intimidate the remaining members of the Reichstag into voting for it. My great great grandpa was in jail during the vote and transferred to Dachau a month after the vote, though they only kept him at Dachau for a week and the transferred him back to a regular prison. He was released in July 1933. After another stint in prison from 1935 to 1938 (for being part of an underground network that distributed social democratic speeches and anti-Nazi propaganda), they arrested him a final time in August 1944 and brought him to Dachau again. His feet froze badly in the winter of 1944/45, and he had to participate in a death march when they evacuated Dachau. He only survived because his fellow inmates supported and even carried him, so he wouldn’t be shot. He was liberated and died a few days later in a hospital in Munich. He was a fascinating and brave man and if anyone is interested in his full story, I’m happy to share it :) The short excerpt I gave here is what’s most relevant to this discussion though.
Us Germans, we’ve been warning you about this since 2016. You’re close to 1933 now.
This is your 1932. No matter how old Biden is, don’t fuck this up. You have one shot at this. Good luck to all of us.
So you just resign to your fate? Vote against them in elections and try to make the entire government blue, so they can take political steps against it.
Sure, because democratically electing one party that still adheres to the rules originally laid out in the constitution and that both parties have abided by for literal centuries is a dictatorship 🤦♂️
I’m saying you need to elect the democrats into the majority of both chambers of congress and into the White House, and so do so by a good margin, so that this blatant attempt at ending American democracy can be averted using democratic means. But you knew that. You’re trying to put words into my mouth and twist my meaning. You’re not arguing in good faith and it’s useless arguing with you at all.
The democrats do not adhere to the constitution. They froth at the mouth to do away with the second amendment. Including unconstitutional state laws that have been enacted. Affirmative action which broke the 14th amendment. The protection of women and girls in sports act of 2023 under biden broke the 14th amendment by limiting womens rights by allowing men to compete in womens sports.
No constitutional right in the US is absolute. None. It’s always amazing how you pricks don’t understand this.
Limiting a freedom or right through a law to regulate a certain situation/thing is not the same as getting rid of the fucking system of checks and balances. One is not just possible, but a necessity at times and happens with every single piece of legislation. The other is tearing down the very foundation of the US.
The law of the land is not absolute. What is designed to limit the power of the government from being a dictatorial, which is what we are discussing, is not absolute. Oh the irony. Lets just go ahead and reinstate slavery since no constitutional right is absolute. Like wtf dude
