How the fuck do you think a ban happens?

honestly i don't give them that much credit. between religous and cultural based hate, the concept of "we are the good ones" means they would have to see themselves in a potential group that could be kicked out. they don't. they see the nuance of their social structure and it never dawns on them that Trump only sees their skin color.
if the law makes their business not viable it's a ban. and if all they can do is show ads and not allow people to post BS then they will go away.
you ban them by making good laws that make why they are shit illegal. it's really not that hard. force them to have validation of political claims. if they don't then shut them down. not difficult.
i agree the need will be there but banning the ones that exist by coming up with good laws is the point.
force them to verify all political claims. All ads need to have very apparent sources of funding. don't let legal entities funnel money to pay for anything. not difficult.
just think if the EU banned twitter, facebook, instagram, and the rest. the world might instantly get a little smarter.
if a lot of people started voting by flipping a coin the fact a lot of people do it doesn't change that it's a dumb process.
I am not saying social media isn't used. i am saying that isn't an excuse for saying "we didn't know we were shooting ourselves in the foot." Watch the debates, watch the press confrences, listen to him live whenever he speaks. Trump doesn't hide his hatred for minorities and foreigners. If you go on social media and are told different then you deserve what you get.
In short, they didn't "adopt" anything, they brought their own nascent bigotry with them.
having interacted with some in these communities, living around them and having my kids go to school with them, your comment here is so on point. it is constantly a shock when you see bigotry pop up so casually and i think to myself those who want you out of this country are using the exact same language.
sounds like you are defending them. it wasn't as if Trump was being coy about it. He created a muslim ban. He said "They are eating the pets."
All this stuff he said in public, live on TV. Using social media as a source of news just shows you are dumb.
There is no such thing as a ban you idiot. You can companies by passing laws.
