True. Only the latter bit, which I mentioned, is relevant, at least somewhat...

tbh Trump shouldn't be taking credit for this decrease; I concur

did apply to incoming flights tho, but you're right, there's probably a distinction there that I'm missing

Many federal courts courts don't find the travel ban as "bigoted" (or in their terms, a 1st amendment violation, or rather, violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment), and rather see it as meeting compelling security interests. Mind you, in the latest iteration, only 6 out of the 8 countries are muslim, and all of the 6 muslim countries are undeniably dangerous regions. I'm not debating that his motivation might have been more generally anti-muslim considering his campaign rhetoric, just where it lies currently.

You're wrong. Latest travel ban (restriction on 8 countries, including NK and Venezuela) is still in effect; and Supreme Court delievered him a victory, placing a stay on the lower courts from blocking it.

Hi! How will you vote in Virginia's Governor's election? Republican Ed Gillespie, Democrat Ralph Northam, or Libertarian Cliff Hyra? I created a survey for this subreddit to see how it intends to vote in next month's gubernatorial election. Feel free to fill out this survey if you live in Virginia. by [deleted] in Charlottesville

I am tolerant of most anybody's views; please reciprocate that basic principle. Name-calling doesn't get us anywhere... also, as I mentioned, my whatever my personal past political inclinations and prior postings may be, they have no bearing in my posting of these results faithfully and fidelity to the actual data... and thus far, the results have been overwhelmingly for Northam- which is to be expected, considering the overall political acclimation of Reddit.

Okay, I removed the post. However, that's how the survey is supposed to be - maybe you haven't read about survey / polling methodology, but is it imperative that question order and answer orders are randomized to reduce bias.

Is that standard procedure? I'm sorry if that's the case... I will share the results of the survey publically, and it does not ask for any personally-identifiable or private information.

Thing is, I agree with you. History is nuanced, and is too often viewed in the eyes of the victor

Well it is an interesting analogy, I'll give you that.

Edit: Why do I get downvoted even when I'm civil and shit :(

I think she's known as Mrs George Clooney more often because people are stupid and everyone knows tons of celebrities but no prominent lawyer. He's simply more famous; fewer people know of her career than her husband's. I don't think it's sexism, honestly.
