Mrs. Pigpen I am looking but I don't see it as going after small donors.
The TAP is no longer public access. I assure you when the site was up they listed
all donors. Believe me or not. I didn't take a screen shot of it.
They took the site down (publicly) due to backlash. Kind of hard to claim one is being "unifying" while the thing was up.
There is now much "window dressing" (as you mention, above).
Which is ironic as AOC calls for "accountability" asking for a list, then claims Trump supporters will delete their old posts....as she deletes her old posts.
Edited to add:
Jennifer Rubin, a journalist for the WaPo,
references a list here.
It's a different list, but the same principle.
"Any R now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into "polite" society. We have a list."
This was November 6th.
In my world, there is a great deal of difference questioning election results while they are still counting ballots on November 6th, than say December 6th.
Think Hillary conceded on the 8th. Al Gore on the 13th of December.
Edited to add: I'm not going to tell anyone what they should think, but I do not believe that when this forum started most folks would think keeping lists of "wrongthinkers" to "hold them accountable" would be taken cavalierly.
For some perspective (since GLAAD was mentioned), when this forum started there was much debate about homosexual marriage (which Obama was against, at first).
Now even the likes of Martina Navratilova (a homosexual, whose coach incidentally was transgender) are accused of wrong think.
When you study the history, things like loyalty oaths never happen all at once. They happen gradually with things like blacklists.
And by the way, I have donated to organizations like the San Francisco Aids Foundation. Imagine if Conservative legislators said they had a list to hold people accountable for donating to organizations like that. I would have donated triple. And been horrified at the precedent they were setting. I am very disturbed by blacklists supported by journalists who now obviously make have dispensed with all pretense of objectivity, and legislators who make statements like this one.
