    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.

    So how is she going to make them non-anonymous in a way that businesses can properly verify identity? Does every single social media site need to have its own ID analysis system for every state-ID? I mean that seems like it would be ridiculously hard.

    For that to be practical, they’d need something nation-wide, and probably digital.

    So, does she want to suggest to her fanbase a national digital ID? How would htat go?

      To be fair, we all already use a national id with the social security numbers.

      So pretty simply, the government would set up a SS number verification API, tech companies would call that, and use it to verify who you are.

      It’s a terrible idea and I hate it, but that’s probably how it would work.
