Trump supporters, how are you ok with the social media history proposal?

[Anonymous]

I won't talk about immigrants and human rights or ruined trade deals and the death of American farms or say "how is this America first."

All things considered, reviewing five years of a tourist's social media is not as horrific as other moves. But it suggests:

*utter disregard for the First Amendment
*our government going into mass surveillance mode
*a very predictable and costly negative effects on tourism (already happening!)

This fascism pure and simple. If a democrat had ever approximated any plans of this kind, you all would have lost your minds.

I want to understand how ANYONE who believes in civil liberties and core American principles can defend this.

I've been telling my teenagers not to associate their social media with their real names. Nothing good can come of it and their friends know who they are anyway.

They don’t care. They like the idea of excluding people whose views they disagree with. They do not actually care about the First Amendment. They see it only as a tool for ensuring they themselves are not silenced. They are perfectly happy with a double standard as long as it benefits them.

Well, they need to say that out loud.

It isn't just views they disagree with. It is pretext to bar anyone they want from entering the country. And they are totally fine with it. The goal is a white christian nationalist state.

Things Republicans would scream and yell about if a Democrat did it, but shrug because it's Trump....

This. Republicans were all about state rights until Trump. I’m Obama pulled this stuff, they would be rioting. The same with Qatari jets and being friendly with Saudi leaders. There is hypocrisy on both sides, but Republicans own it.

Yep. Trump wants no more immigrants from “sh!thole” countries. As always, so presidential!

Trump supporters are always quiet when it comes to their savior. It’s either hypocrisy or they’re choking on a “freedom” fry.

I don’t agree with this policy but I don’t know what it has to do with the First Amendment. From what I understand it would be used to get prospective foreign visitors who are not yet in the US.

The First Amendment restricts what the government can do. Whether a person is inside or outside the U.S. does not magically change that.

Trump supporters are garbage. Stop asking them if they care about constitutional rights or anything. They care about themselves, first, foremost, and to the exclusion of all else, and harming people that are not like themselves. That’s all you need to know. They. Are. Trash.

It’s the first step by Trump and the Republicans. Next ICE will be able to access US citizens’ phones on demand. These people are Nazis.

Only because no one can defend it.
