WOW.
@daxorid shared his view - which wasn't inflammatory. The comment was downvoted, then flagged before I could reply.
Terrifying, how? This is what Trump promised, and the reason we voted for him. Half of us are quite happy to see campaign promises actually implemented.
HN is acting as if this was capricious and unplanned. In fact, it's what half of us wanted.
@daxorid voted for a political party that you disagree with. If they can't share their views openly and honestly we won't learn from their perspective.
Based on a tiny sample of GOP friends, they agree with @daxorid. Those friends voted for Trump based on campaign promises and they're happy that he's following-through those promises. For me this was a sort of "oh shit" moment. What else did he promise?? WP has a list:

Half of the country is excited by that list. The other half is not.
- tzs 10y agoBased on the discussion on /r/republican and /r/conservative, there appear to be very few in the GOP who thought that this was what Trump promised or are happy with it. Many wanted more curbs on illegal immigrants, and more vetting of new applicants for legal immigration from certain countries...but not many thought that people who are already here legally on temporary or permanent visas should be blocked from reentering if they leave temporarily, such to visit family over a holiday.
