Not 1930s Germany
Sometimes you fear America could go down the same road as Germany 100 years ago.
Then you see millions of Americans turn out at thousands of No King rallies across the country.
Germans rallied for a dictator. Americans rallied against one.
Unlike Germans, Americans have lived under freedom, not tyranny, for 250 years.
Germans went from kings to a Kaiser to a Fuehrer. They finally got a constitutional democracy after World War II – thanks to the U.S. and Britain – and it has worked out pretty well for 80 years.
Trump today is testing the strength of our constitutional democracy.
But millions of Americans are standing up for it.
Next year, when we celebrate the 250th birthday of Declaration of Independence, and when we have mid-term elections, will be the time to teach Trump what we think of kings.
He can tear down the White House, but he can’t tear down our democracy.
