People really need to get things together and investigate these crimes committed against the people.
In no world did we ever allow the government to track our movements or what we think. People are free and are not bound to laws that the gov will simply trample over when they feel like it.
Use encryption, don't tell plans, and keep fighting. We have got this.

The protesters use a ("secure") phone.

The problem with these threads is everybody wants to complain about Trump, but nobody wants to talk about policies that actually help buffer against the far-right. Eg implementing robust safety nets and low inequality, to reduce status anxiety and grievance. How many of you software engineers want to sign up for European-style welfare states and pay for them with high taxes? It's basically tragedy of the commons.

Economics on its own is probably not sufficient either. You probably also need widespread unionization, a Cordon Sanitaire, and probably German-style intelligence surveillance of the far-right too.
Edit: Looking at the comments below you also need a MUCH better education system. FYI 99% of the time immigration is great for the economy, which is why the US has been wholesale accepting immigrants for a very long time.

If you work for L3Harris, TechOps Specialty Vehicles (TOSV), Clearview AI, Paragon Solutions, AE Industrial, RedLattice, Magnet Forensics, Grayshift, Penlink, Flock Safety, Ring, LexisNexis, or Palantir, you are a fascist.
