We are beyond #LestWeForget

#Lest We Forget actually says so, when one’s view is dim of an entire demographic, being a bystander is part of the problem of why genocide, so #LestWeForget it is both illegal and socially unacceptable.

bigots’ are not the ones needing protection of the law, while vulnerable in the public square.

from the article:

Budapest/Berlin — A top aide to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called into question Germany’s democratic standards on Thursday after a German football club sacked a Hungarian coach for expressing anti-immigrant and anti-LGBT views.

“Expressing your opinion cannot be punished under the rule of law,” Orban’s chief of staff Gergely Gulyas told a press briefing. “I think this is outrageous. It is foremost Germany that has to answer whether it still upholds the rule of law.”

It was President George H Bush or Bush The Elder that began the “family values” code

and given The Duggar family revealing incest is a Christian norm….

the republicans under Lincoln ended slavery, but after Reagan

it was the party of anti-women’s reproductive rights and personal sovereignty

the party of anti_LGBTQ2 Human RIghts

the party of bigotry along religion and ethnicity lines, often one and the same as most religions one must be born to, and not choose

so for a country founded on no more kings and begun by Robber Barrons to restart the nobility rank race…..

freedom from religion was the pursuit of happiness

no religion determining government nor being forced on anyone
