This is the fascist dream. Who defines 'Best Behavior?' Whoever owns the cameras, and the cops.

Criticize the president? Not best behavior. Kiss someone of your sex/gender? Not best behavior. Call AI stupid? Not best behavior. Whistleblower on out a deadly chemical leak? Not best behavior. Disagree with a politician? Not best behavior. Defined LGBTQ+ people's rights? Not best behavior. Criticize Isreal ? Not best behavior.

They are going to define "best behavior" in a way that never threatens their feelings, let alone threatens their powers, if you let them.

You are painfully correct https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nspm-7-labels-commo...

Looking at that list of extremist indicators, I would agree that they qualify as common beliefs. It's hard to be too outraged though, because they also seem to genuinely reflect destructive beliefs that are absolutely antithetical to American society.
Wow, you seem to be so confident in defining exactly when and how any of the following “beliefs” are “anthitetical to American society”:

> hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

> hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

> hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

You seem to be a paragon of discernment regarding extremely subjective, ill-defined areas. How impressive.
