“national security threat” == “threat to the regime we’re trying to establish”.
Project 2025 isn’t gonna run itself!
Edit: are there a bunch of projects 2025 fans here, or just a few disingenuous actors?
According to this latest article she partially takes back some of her outrageous demands: https://firstamendmentwatch.org/nikki-haley-walks-back-her-demand-that-social-media-ban-anonymous-posters-after-facing-gop-backlash
“Facing Backlash, Nikki Haley Softens Demand That Social Media Ban Anonymous Posters”
I saw that. Absolutely goofy… First she says something about wanting a more civil internet, but apparently that “civility” extends to putting people’s names on social media when they live in a country known for making propaganda?
So little red flags for people in China, little stars of David for people in Isr… Yeah, she would do that wouldn’t she
Edit: why the down votes? Nikki Haley fans in the audience?
Well, thankfully I had no intention of voting for this particular idiot, and now its a double hell no.
Nimarata Randhawa, using a pseudonym Nikky Haley wants people to use their real names? interesting…
Yeah - that’s not going to be possible.
Glad we (UK) are not the only country with politicians who make dramatic statements about online policies in the hope of gaining notoriety, without knowing what the merry fuck is involved or even if it’s technically possible.
Ironically/coincidentally – Can I blame Alannis Morisette for my lack of understanding of the differences? – I watched “V For Vendetta” recently. Nov. 5th and all.
In it (if you’re unaware) the US tore itself apart while the UK kept some semblance of order through authoritarianism. So, feels half right? We’re tearing ourselves apart over attempted authoritarianism.
Something something „Land of the free“…
Republicans are Soviets. Not communists but Soviets. They want to abolish freedom, and they want Putin in charge of the USA.
At the last point, I don’t think its as much an idolization of Putin, but conservatives want a strong leader who isn’t a scared little bitch or a weak Alzheimer’s patient.
America does better under strong leadership. If you want to limit the presidential power, enact proper safeguards and don’t elect people like Trump, who, while strong, is not a good human being.
But Trump and the Repubniks do cuddle up to Putin. That’s how the name „Moscow Mitch“ came to be. I cannot wrap my head around this: Putin was/is a literal soviet. How can you call yourself a conservative and not hate Putin? Reagan called the Soviet Union the evil empire. It should be regarded as un-american to, for example, question support for Ukraine. As for the „strong leader“ part: If so many of you really want that, you could just have kept King George III. Instead, the gem of the ocean made tyranny tremble everywhere. As a European I feel like we are experiencing a successful infiltration operation where American society is being turned against everything its country once stood for. Good luck with that. God bless you.
I’ve never heard that nickname. In any case, I’m not saying I like Vladimir Putin. I’m not saying I liked Trump. I like the idea of a strong leader who will work with other nations, but not roll over and take shit either.
There’s nothing wrong with carrying a big stick, but nowadays everyone has forgotten the first part of Roosevelt’s sentence… “Speak softly, but carry a big stick.”
In other words, let your actions speak for you.
the uk already tried that and failed
GOP trying to slow fascist creep on every front.
Thankfully they fully telegraph every move outloud
Problem is not enough of us pay attention or truly understand the encroaching facsim that is threatening democracy.
This is your daily reminder to vote responsibly in 2024.
Natinal security threat bc the old, orange not-a-billionaire, asshole, with big toddler feelings, need to know who is making fun of him for retribution if he wins reelection
Cool, so I’ll just use a VPN with an exit node outside of the grasp of the US. Problem solved.
‘you must use a government issued ID to use instagram’
Pretty good reason to not use IG.
This is like one of those things republicans say during election season, then get back to doing nothing but funneling tax funds to donors.
Those book deals don’t finance themselves!
Yeah good luck with that
That’ll be useful for the next time they plan an insurrection.
Enjoy this semblance of freedom while it lasts. Or take the pill and join the dark side
I feel like civilisation is kinda doomed when we let people come up with the same shitty idea every few years over and over again. It has been proven again and again that using your real name doesn’t deter people doing the most heinous things on social media. Bigots don’t care of you know their names. Just log into Facebook Twitchan or any other social media for a second to see that this idea is complete bs. But whatever even if she would realise it there will be someone in a few years trying to do it again.
