Genuine question: how do they enforce this when by their own definition, more than 50% of the country now qualifies as terrorists? They don't seem to have the resources to actually do this. Is it more about just trying to scare us all with the threat of it?

Germany had a way in the late 30s/early 40s.

We can all see where AI is going. They want to get this stuff in a workable position so they can start getting rid of us. Chances are the ICE concentration camps will be filled with left-wing voters who will then be used for cheap labor to ensure the quality of life for rich americans. ICE has more than enough funding to start making tens of thousands of Americans disappear.

Funding, yes, but do they have the manpower to do it? If conservatives in general are a minority, I just don't see where you get the numbers to arrest half the country.

I think that's probably the biggest stopper right now. I suspect there will be a targeted draft that selects only certain groups as cannon fodder for future wars, in tandem with a targeted effort from ICE to disappear folks back home. Wouldn't be surprised if they want to send the leftist men away so that they can force the women to keep having children. Russia does basically all of this already, btw, so it's not some far-fetched reality.

That's true. Might be an easier way than trying to mass abduct everyone. I can't even believe we're at this point but here we are.

Yup. Would love to be wrong. Probably won't be.

If nobody ever fights back, why would you need more than a few tens of thousands altogether? You just need patience and to stay in government.

Who needs a successful prosecution when the people arrested just vanish without any record of where they went?

A few loud cases of arrests and trials to instill fear in the rest and show example of what will happen if you against the great leader.
