Wine Aunt Nikki Haley: I Want to Know Everyone's Name on the Internet for "National Security" Reasons

What a shock, a sexless, smothering mothering Wine Aunt wants to make everything polite and orderly and is willing to strip people of their rights to get it.

Making sure all memes are Government Approved is a "national security" issue you guys.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social media users to verify their identities before posting, citing "national security" concerns.

The former South Carolina governor's plan is part of a set of social media reforms aimed at transparency -- which she pushed during an appearance on Fox News -- that has rankled some of her primary opponents.

"When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies, they have to show America their algorithms," Haley said. "Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing."

"The second thing is, every person on social media should be verified, by their name. That's, first of all, it's a national security threat. 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. And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say, and they know their pastor and their family members are going to see it," the 51-year-old former Trump administration official added.
Nikki HaleyHaley argued that anonymous social media accounts have been weaponized by the Chinese, Iranian and Russian governmentsAP

Two of Haley's GOP primary opponents -- entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis -- blasted her proposal.


"[Haley] is *openly* pushing for the government to use private tech companies to censor speech. This is a flagrant violation of the Constitution and straight out of the Democrats' playbook," Ramaswamy said in an X post. "Any politician who thinks it's OK for the government to use the private sector as its censorship bureau shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the White House."

...

In his criticism, DeSantis also invoked the authors of the Federalist Papers, who famously wrote under the collective pseudonym "Publius" to promote the ratification of the Constitution.

"You know who were anonymous writers back in the day? Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison when they wrote the Federalist Papers," DeSantis wrote on X. "They were not 'national security threats,' nor are the many conservative Americans across the country who exercise their Constitutional right to voice their opinions without fear of being harassed or canceled by the school they go to or the company they work for."

This is a terrible policy idea offered only to achieve a trivial, stupid goal -- "we want people to be nice on the internet!" -- but of course Wine O'Clock Wendys can only offer this kind of deranged perspective-free obsessive nattering.

We're grappling with serious, existential issues and you want the government to make sure your fucking Twitter feed is "nice"??!?!

On the other hand, not only does she want to reach into everyone's privacy to make sure they're being Nice on the internet, but she also wants to invade the fucking world. i'M a SeRiOuS tHiNkEr YoU gUys!!!!

Where do I sign up to volunteer for this Visionary?!?!
