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

I don’t have Facebook, but my dog from 2007 does, RIP.

The word you are looking for is deplorable.

I don’t know why anyone thinks that MAGA knows anything about this. They are low information people.

That people don't understand the slippery slope is troubling.

They will surveil you. Your neighbors will turn you in if they don't like you. You will be restricted.

Trust me. I lived in China. This is what they do.

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.

It's strange how people get so up in arms about things only when it hits close to home. Not defending the policy but, and this goes with all those racist Euro-defenders, I had a friend (American born and raised) that was denied entrance at Heathrow over 30 years ago for simply looking too Irish even though they were, and had, a southern European surname; and they had to basically eat a round trip ticket from New England. Countries have been doing things like this since forever.

The US has used Immigration counters as de facto race-based admissions tests for decades but white people only seem to care when white people are targeted. Maybe open your damn mouths when it's your neighbor.

They like that word, probably because they don’t know what it means. Let’s use language they understand- hot, stinky, rotten, useless trash.

My guess is they will scan the social media for bad actors. This will not affect people who have nothing to hide.

No the word is Maoist.

Yes just like the fishermen in Venezuela. Only antifa, democrats, independents, “antisemitism”, MTG, etc need to worry. Welcome to America under Trump and republicans.

Whatever trump tells them to care or not care about, they're ok with. Don't we already know the answer to these types of questions. If they're ok w Epstein, they're ok with anything the king tells them to do or think.

Trump supporters really don't care about most anything OP.

OP here. You could not be more wrong about me. Maybe don't make so many assumptions.

However, you are touching on some of the reasons I started the thread. When I have started other threads on say, immigration, there was so much disagreement in the basic positions that it was difficult to have a productive argument. So I brought this story up not only because it should be uncontroversial, but also because the couple of well-educated people I know who supported Trump are HUGE anti-surveillance people. They were always accusing Democratic governments of much worse.
