Dems are cowards so I can’t say ‘this will push them into action!’ but I’d anticipate opposition to this.
Def a sprinkling of the frontier turning inwards as we restrict freedom of movement for opponents of the regime
I don’t see this having popular support [since when does that matter?]. Maybe I am being too generous but the Republican voters, despite being braying hogs, don’t see themselves as Nazis and having the sec state pull folks’ passports for speech is a little on the nose. So this overtly fascist policy might create some friction with the conservatives who broadly - in my estimation and I may be wrong - are allergic to seeing themselves as fascist.
This is a good indication of what I’ve noticed in the past two years of Israel’s war against Hamas genocidal Zionist campaign to eliminate and displace the Palestinians, which is existential to the settler-colony’s very being. We in the West had almost just barely gotten out of the GWOT era framing of things and the establishment crackdown on genocide resistance really allows our leadership to get the band back together and play the old hits such as anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia and saying everything they don’t like is terrorism.
Hat tip to whoever it was on here that mentioned you can bypass a paywall on desktop by putting the article in reader mode.

doesn’t matter, they’ll support it. They might not see themselves as fascist but they also don’t see fascist policy as either fascist or a bad thing. As long as trump admin isn’t saying “Yeah we got this policy from the 3rd reich” they’ll be onboard. And even then…
Agree, the morning hours caught me too generous, I will harden my heart lol.

Yeah, austerity budgets, anti-LGBT, anti-homeless policies … iM OnLy AgAiNsT iLlEgAliMmIgRaNtS … all fash policies that the supporters get surprised to be labeled thus for supporting. And to not seeing it is a bad thing, I suppose they get very defensive trying to avoid that label but only see it as a slur or a smear applied to them and not a real descriptor of policies.

You are being too generous, the wording is already primed for hogs to love, and they’re not actually opposed to this kind of policy, it’s just political posturing when they say they are.
