      It goes a lot deeper than that. It's another foundational stepping stone toward making any and all anti-capitalist activities illegal. Just like they are setting precedent to legally label any kind of dissident a terrorist. This is about building the legal framework for a truly fascist empire. And the ultra hilarious part is the Democrats love this shit. No fucking way Biden overturns any of this shit.

            I don't mean to be be a bother but do you mind elaborating on this? I was born and raised in CA but this is the first time I've heard of this. If not, could you point me in the right direction?

                Oh, I think I got my reds confused. I thought you meant cool Commie reds, not gross GOP reds. My bad! I did learn something, though: I didn't know it was illegal for a Communist to hold public office in CA 😬 :angery:

        like the framework is already there also this

        This ground of inadmissibility only applies to aliens seeking immigrant status, such as aliens inside the United States applying to adjust status to that of a lawful permanent resident

        it makes me think this is a china thing like it does include former so you could just deport a lot of chinese people who were at some point affiliated with the party just because of that but i'll concede that i don't know it could be both too who knows what the fuck they are doing in there
