From Occupied Paris during WW2. "It's not the one big Hitler in Berlin that makes life unbearable, it's the million little Hilters all over Paris."

The Stasi in east germany encouraged "unofficial informants" to spy on their neighbors and family. These informants were just normal people and everyone reported on everyone so you never knew who was reporting what.
Your analogy is confused good sir/madam, obviously patriotic American conservatives would never support an authoritarian culture of mass surveillance perpetuated by the state, they believe in laissez faire, minimal government!
To clarify further...!
/s for the readers with brain damage
I’ve reported you to one of Abbott’s hotlines for the spoiler.
May the Flying spaghetti monster have mercy on your soul.
Fortunately I do not currently reside in Texas, I could use some marinara tho
I have reported you to one of Abbotts hotlines as well for talking about the spoiler.
May Zeus The Banger of Every Woman He Sees take pity apon ye.
"Hey, I've seen this one before!"
"What do you mean? It's brand new!"
They're just copying from their role models, as always.
Actually, Germany used the US of A as the role model for many of their infamous policies, including the salute.
1984 becomes realer by the day thanks to Republicans. When will they start the Texas Thought Police?
They already tried to instill doublethink when miss huckabee insisted that alternative facts were a thing.

Ah, right you are. It was the first bout of insanity from the white house.
More violations of your private lives courtesy of the "we hate nanny-states" party.
Kim Jong Il would be proud.
Nobody wants state-sponsored inspectors to probe your life. But random nosy "concerned citizens" reporting on behaviour the state doesn't like? Hell yeah, and even better we have no shortage of willing participants!
So… doxing is now “tattletale.” Got it.
I thought the main point of the tattletale laws was to avoid judicial review. An important part of that is to establish who has standing. If the law was enforced directly by the AG, then people could sue the office directly if they think the enforcement violated their rights. But since these laws are enforced by nosy neighbors, there is no one central body to sue to review it. They've essentially insulated these laws from ever having a judge rule they are invalid.
Real loser HOA (or "HOA" for short) energy here.
Sounds familiar, unfortunately.
I think it would be very useful for potential employers to be able to check a candidate's propensity for bigotry. We should keep a public database of conservatives to help employers make wise hiring decisions.
Conservatism is not a protected class. It is perfectly legal to refuse to employ bigots. There is simply no room in a modern culture for hate-based ideologies like conservatism.
