    Such a move would lead to an increase in “civility,” Haley believes. “When they know their pastor, their family members can see it, it’s going to help our kids and it’s going to help our country," she said.

    That’s what everyone said about posting next to your real name on Facebook. How did that turn out?

      Pretty good, actually. It was nice of the traitors to upload pictures of themselves in the act on Jan 6.

      their pastor

      Aren’t they obliged to confess their sins to those anyway? Not that having that obligation stopped many from doing bad things anyway.

      Well she’s right. But I don’t think anyone has an obligation to be “civil”. Posting anonymously is exactly what allows me to have honest discussions without fear of backlash from family and friends. For better or worse.

      It’s telling that pastors are the first people she wants to see what people are saying. Got to keep those sinners in line.

      Civility is code for “stop complaining about how we treat you”. Jesse Gender has a pretty good video about civility politics (2hrs 21mins): https://youtu.be/-1TL9id26Ec
