Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

I bring my phone. I likely won't be breaking any laws, and I can afford a lawyer. So yeah arrest me and waste the system's time. Just another data point they have to sort.

And if it gets to the point where none of that matters we were cooked anyway

Lawyers operate in courts. We don’t have due process anymore.

Then as I said we're already cooked. But also that is demonstrably false anyway. Our judiciary is under heavy threat, but still functioning

Barely functionning isn't good enough, it has to be beyond reproach but today it has daily miscarriages.

Just go out wearing a MAGA hat. They only have small brains it'll probably confuse them.

Like how insects are always pretending to be wasps so they don't get eaten, see it's scientific.

Or even just dress how they'd expect their own to dress, don't even need a dumbass hat. I wear an old tan leather jacket and a Swedish combat cap which apparently translates to friend for them. Also applies to the anarchists though, they see my clothes as friendly.
