While I wholeheartedly agree with where you're coming from (most rights listed in the Bill of Rights are being violated in some blatant manner), the problem is that vein of thought has now been claimed by an authoritarian movement idolizing an empty huckster who wears a diaper. Something similar happens to every good political critique - when it finally starts getting traction in the wider sphere, it's taken over by opportunists leading morons, and the whole thing just goes sideways.

I've reacted by becoming much more conservative, voting for deep state supporting candidates because at least they're the devil we know. I guess I'll just keep my head down politically and keep working on communications technology that might extricate us from the state gradually. Because replacing the state top-down with fascist madmen certainly isn't going to lead anywhere good.
