Every day in every way Trump violates the basic rules of our democracy. It may not be a bad idea to have control of our borders and who immigrates to our country. However, the recent demands made by “the White House [saying] it planned to require visa applicants from dozens of countries to provide social media, phone and email histories for vetting before being allowed into the US” is appalling.
This is another way for Trump to control freedom of speech and people’s right to disagree with him publicly. “Minky Worden, the director of global initiatives at Human Rights Watch, said the new entry requirements were ‘an outrageous demand that violates fundamental free speech and free expression rights.’” This is not democracy. This is autocracy. Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin were all autocrats. This what America has become under the Trump regime
