Either Rep. Juaquin Castro is a technological neanderthal who has no concept of the weaponization possibilities of such a list in today’s media or it is accomplishing exactly what he intended.

Castro/Democratic Idea was to intimidate Trump donors to stop donating. Might work with some. Others might double down. Could both harden Trump support and send it underground.https://t.co/WdYHiCMHn9

Since publishing the list, Castro has tried to mitigate what he did by suggesting that there was no “call to action.”
