They are a State in the EU….. Denmark is being assimilated.

Denmark before Socialism and all their feelings took over is gone, and
NOW their Socialist Denmark is being assimilated into the EU collective.

Soon to become just another bland tasteless socialist state that is
homogenized and uniform across the EU. Socialist love to talk about
Diversity and yet all the laws they pass and the Socialist system itself
destroys diversity. They have lost their unique Nation and their
feelings have them voting for their own destruction.

The irony is staggering.

Look at what they have done to Denmark, I left all this above
because it’s just so self explanatory. I couldn’t misspell anything
above because it was to important and succinct, so “hear” is one for you
after the fact.

Just my cense of humor……
