I'm game for this...Republicans would disappear from the net overnight if they had to use their real names.

I wish that were true but what actually happens is some people are nicer, but asshats are still asshats. People who might have called an asshat an asshat, now just respond politely, but the asshats grow more bold.
So what you'll get is any sense of reasonable Republican to quiet down, and the worst Republicans to speak louder.
Trump can call people vermin and Republicans celebrate. Biden responds that such language is Nazi-like, since we can't call him an actual Nazi, and Republicans scream back that Biden is overreacting.
Right? This is another in a hilarious series of self-owns. The vast majority of problematic accounts are right wing assholes.
Seriously. They are too cowardly to even use their main accounts. A lot of them have alts because they know they're unpopular.
Yup. Wouldn’t put it past her to be targeting Trans kids who are seeking help anonymously though.
How exactly does she believe they're going to accomplish this? Serious question cause it doesn't seem possible from where I'm sitting, anonymously.
It’s not. She’s just stupid.

Saw a south park episode like that
all this just to find the person with a Vegeta avatar that clowned on them on Twitter or whatever
She was probably picked as the new favorite: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/26/donors-secretly-funded-nikki-haleys-nonprofit-00053963
Russia Isn’t on Radar for Haley at UN, She Tells Congress https://www.courthousenews.com/russia-isnt-radar-haley-un-tells-congress/
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/nikki-haleys-campaign-says-she-misspoke-when-saying-u-s-needs-to-align-with-russia (Did she though?)
I think she wouldn't be as insane as Trump, but she ain't great.
She’d be the W of the modern day. She’s definitely sane, and maybe she’s as evil as she’s campaigning as, maybe she’s compromising her morals for power. Either way, if she’s elected people get hurt. But unlike trump, desantis, or ramaswamy she wouldn’t bankrupt the country and implement purges. Unless of course she needs to to keep power.
As long as it's primary season and we're workshopping far right brain farts ... free guns for all kindergartners? Make dogs wear pants? NBA but for white people? Grammy category for songs about how things used to be better?
Can we abolish Nikki Haley instead?
@L4s This dumb broad would need to ban the Federalist Papers, too, since they were anonymous.
McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission ~>
"Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority [.....] It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation [.....] at the hand of an intolerant society."
Tricky Nikki said:
"Every person on social media should be verified by their name. It’s a national security threat," she said. "When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say and it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots and the Chinese bots."
Her handlers just want to control all narratives. She doesn't care about Russian bots. Nikki Haley is a bot.
I'm gonna be interested how that's supposed to work with false positives, err, collateral damage, err, plausibly deniable canceling of free speech of citizens. Nice try.
What a weak nation. Even internet trolls are security threat to it.
LOL
