concern me as much as the slippery slope this opens to banning anyone Trump disagrees with. This is about Democracy and the ideals we say we stand for, not the tribal politics of division that continues to divide and create chaos where ever we find it.

Banning one person is no different than Trump banning Muslims, or his war on immigrants. Who will be next if he succeeds this time?

Right here on DU, we have effectively used boycotts to protest some of the worst Fox news personalities, Republicans and the businesses who support their policies of hate. If we support boycotts as a domestic policy, then there is no excuse to ignore it's potential as a curb to egregious foreign policies that trample the goal of democratic rights.
