Their counterparts couldn't stop what they unleashed in Germany last century, but that was a very different time and place. We are a far, far stronger democracy than a broken Germany was during its first little 15-year experiment after centuries of authoritarian rule.

Like Puerto Ricans, we'd immediately start spending long hours in lines just to survive. Where reason for lining up was provided.
