i legit hope hackers break the gently caress out of them

but they wont because hackers are goony nerds who think poo poo like self-driving cars are neat and don't care if 3 million truckers lose their jobs

Don't worry, asymmetric warfare abroad has illustrated that there is always a low tech wrench to throw in the complex machine.

An example at home: everybody having a cheap camera phone has been a tremendous boon to highlighting police abusing their authority. For all their resources and tactical gear they still have to contend with video records and instant Facebook streaming shining a light on their poo poo.

Things can and will continue to deteriorate but we're a fightin species that works well in groups, this tenacity will always benefit the oppressed class

it's in our long term interests that someone like trump who is so reviled attempts to push through some heinous laws after a terror/cyber attack. The public awareness and push back would be far more significant than if it were during a more charismatic presidency ahem :obama:
