I don't want someone who supports terrorist groups such as Hamas in my country Terrorism supporters run our country. Where were you on January 6?

Startup idea: Social Media Presence as a Service.

The problem is that they already ask you to list all social media profiles, so if you had a "public" account that's only unobjectionable posts, and an "alt" account where you post your political activism posts, you either have to disclose the alt as well, or you're committing a felony by lying on a form.

Yes, you're absolutely right, it's completely unreasonable to hope that your president and country have a different have a different set of governance principles than the mod of your hentai subreddit.

Yes, you're absolutely right, it's completely unreasonable to hope that your president and country have a consistent set of governance principles applied to guests in public spaces. What you're admitting to is that it's OK to be unprincipled as long as the target is a politically convenient one.
