but that isnt the concern, is it?
Its to allow gerrymandering to such an extent, it removes minorities from office.

Which I think you know, but didnt mention because it doesnt support your false narrative.

"going towards authoritarianism" and supporting "border patrol, ICE, police, military, and prisons", is the same thing.
You should look up how there are so many people who are here trying to get citizenship, and why the lag of getting them in as citizens is there. (Hint, defunding of the Immigration courts over 20+ years, you can literally see it in statistics).
Immigration is needed for our country, and that is who we are as a country. So its odd you think it is the worst thing.
And lets address your racist comment, you do know that people of all colors have been here well before the 1980s, which BTW, had a way higher crime rate than right now.
Are you even from the USA? Feels like you dont know anything about this country.

If your response is a false "whataboutism", then Id say you know you already lost and you can stay in Russia.

The proper response, REGARDLESS THE SIDE, is that this is against the constitution. If you lived in and were educated in the USA(also part of the citizenship test), you would know this is so far beyond legal that Putin is proud of it.

There is a bit missing from this conversation. First off, the Government doesnt own the public data, a company does.
History shows companies do not value people, they value money. If a company were to have an issue with an individual, they could manipulate the data they own to make that persons life a living hell. Not only would they be able to manipulate, they would be able to use their wealth against them.
There are no safeguards to a company owning the data. You are arguing citizen vs government and leaving out corporations, an untrusted entity with a LONG history of bad actors when it comes to money.
If you distrust the government why do you think corporations are the "neutral middle man"?
Not only is the corporations actions a problem, it is another legal hurdle to deal with to dig into something that might be false. Now you have to subpoena the company and hope they are being legally compliant. Lest we forget the tobacco lies, lest we forget the fossil fuel industry lies, lest we forget 3 mile island lies...


This isnt about citizen vs government, this is about UNREGULATED company AND Government against citizen.

If your default view is ":well, you must be guilty", then you forget that corruption, deceit, lies, and manipulation are common traits in both companies and government

If you wish to dismiss those points, then may all cameras point at your house, until you are laid to rest.
