You're spinning what is essentially "screenshotting tweets" to sound a lot more nefarious than it is. It seems pretty clear to me that she's talking about accountability. It's not about hunting down poor innocent conservatives in their homes, it's making sure that people involved in the administration can't distance themselves from their actions.

Meanwhile, armed mobs of Trump supporters are actually inciting violence, harassing people and plotting kidnappings. What do you think they intend to do with those guns?

  Note: Antifa and Bernie Bros are not Trump supporters.

Congresswoman Cortez explains herself well. >Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future The concern is that these enablers will not have their credibility tarnished for their support of trump. Are you okay with whitewashing? She wants to prevent Trump's (former?) supporters from whitewashing their actions so that we, Royal we, can face the problems trump exposed. What, exactly, is your fear here?

Most likely hold them to account for enabling poor policy choices by avoiding giving them any position of power in the future, discouraging anyone from voting for them, etc. But her statement was rather vague and didn't clearly state at all what the purpose of her list would be, so our own biases about her and what she represents would likely color our feelings about what she might do with such a list, no?

  To be clear. Congressman Cortez is asking if people are preserving the history of people that supported trump. She is not making a list.
