Unfortunately this is just an EO so it will get reversed if Democrats get back in power.
Or maybe not. There are people in the Dem coalition that oppose this. Even if they do not succeed, Dems will still pay a political price for being on the side of debanking people.

Why? The left seems very happy with debanking. It would be a win for them and they have the media on their side that will cheer it as being good for Democracy
I wish I had your faith in humanity. I've had friends going from the Patriot act was a great threat and abuse of power to we need to monitor everyone at all time for their safety. Even had one telling me how we all need to get brain chips for our own good. From freedom of speech to hate speech is just like real life violence and we need to criminalize it.
My friends are center left and hold this views. We used to have the same political views prior to 2014.
I don't. As you say, many people will fall in line. But some others won't. There have been people on the left opposing Big Surveillance the entire time, and they were probably a decent factor in Trump's victory, even if they didn't outright support him.

No disrespect, but you have some seriously weird friends. Probably reflective of how people fall in line when it's not their ox being gored. Note that you will find far fewer leftists, at least in my experience, supporting something like immigration, because it's their communities that get wrecked as well. When it comes to something abstract, like climate change, they believe the doomerism on the other hand.

archives is being retarded with googles captcha shit so there's some quotes from the article.
President Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at preventing banks from refusing to offer financial services to people based on their political beliefs or lawful business activities – a practice known as “debanking.”
Earlier this week, Trump accused JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America of rejecting more than $1 billion of his deposits for political reasons.
Former Republican Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback recently alleged he was “debanked” by JPMorgan over his conservative religious views – a claim the bank denied.
Banks have also been accused of canceling accounts of customers engaged in cryptocurrency ventures and supporting conservative causes, such as Second Amendment activities.
Trump noted that victims of debanking have “suffered frozen payrolls, debt and crushing interest, and other significant harms to their livelihoods, reputations, and financial well-being.”
“Such practices are incompatible with a free society and the principle that the provision of banking services should be based on material, measurable, and justifiable risks,” the president continued, describing discriminatory debanking as “unlawful.

Still very, very nice

Doesn't matter what the professional left thinks, although Elizabeth Warren's agency was working on curbing debanking before Trump gutted it.
The professional left is a very small part of the population. Most people, even people who are on the left, have the common sense view of this.

Strange things have been happening since 2014.
He's still doing some very good things, despite the very bad stuff since June
He's still far better than anything we've had in a long time.

He may support Israel first instead of America, but at least he comes through every once in a while.
Good on him.
Sry for the spell error in the title
Lefty friends already using that spelling.
Just a mistake on my part
Seen that spelling since 2015 from the left.
