To be completely honest, it’s a bit naive to assume that congress people represent their constituents first. It is commonly known, and backed up by evidence, that they will back their financial backers first and foremost.

It is unclear who the backers in this case are. But when in doubt, follow the money

For almost all the controversial content I have seen on X, the community notes do work pretty well to fact check. It’s not perfect, but the best solution we have seen from a major social media site.

1. “Just because they have power let’s give them more power.” This is a bad argument

2. There certainly are situations where you can refuse. And some one needs to ask you explicitly for it right now. Won’t be true when your face is a government id

3. This is simply not true. When push comes to shove, the feds will win every time

1. People don’t trust the government and are wary of giving it more power

2. You’re missing that your face is different than a piece of paper. You can choose to refuse to show ID in some cases. You could keep your face covered, but that has ramifications you might not desire

3. The Feds are worse because they are already much more powerful than any state government.

It’s really not hard to see where the fear is. This might be one of the most obtuse comments I have seen on here
