Not entirely on topic, but I think we should have armed guards for our schools. They and other people in the movement against Trump should have an verifiable ID, so that fake protectors can’t prey on folks. Here is an ID that I mocked up.
Paired with an secure database and legitimate app built for it, we can use a QR code for people to use. Name, picture, role in the movement, home state, medical information, and so forth can be provided through it. In this fashion, we can keep people safer. Plus, in the event of open war, our casualties can be more easily identified. This might save lives, since the medical information can allow for more tailored treatment. EG: Penicillin allergies.
That would happen anyways. They got the DMV, voting records, Palantir, and so forth. This is more about ensuring that we can trust our own folks - whip out a phone, check if the app gives a legit profile, and then let the person pass through a checkpoint or join up with an activity.
Best way to slow down a protest movement. Have everyone first have to register and wait 6 months for the board to approve them…
And what makes you think that agents, who are paid to infiltrate movements, wont manage to trick that board, provide fake information, that the government actually can give them and so on?
Sorry, but this idea is very bad. The reality is that in every movement you will find government infiltration. The key is to be organized in a decentralized manner, while maintaining larger cohesion.
Presumably, it will be Blue States providing the R&D, infrastructure, and rehired federal workers. It won’t ever be perfect, but probably better than your solution for territories that aren’t controlled by the Trump Regime.
LAPD shot journalists covering the protests on the weekend. No state government will be loyal to the people over being loyal to authoritarianism.
Giving any power over protest movements to the governments they are protesting is wrong. It ensure the movements to be ineffective at best, or dismantled with extreme violence at worst.
I think it would be easier for them to get the courts to accept “Here’s a database they made and joined willingly where they self identify as dissenters” rather than, “Here’s a list of terrorists Big Balls made by scraping every government database he had access to”

isn’t a great big database of dissenters the thing the Trump admin really really wants to put together?

And who does the vetting?
