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!
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!
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.
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.
