MODERATORS
Extremely unlikely purely due to the optics and inevitable pushback. Simply isn't worth it for any government to go far because it will explode in their faces.
What they will do is what they've been doing. Make protesting more and more illegal and then when people go from rhetoric (which they don't care about... they just don't. Everyone here chirping is powerless) to actual action and get arrested under newer more draconian laws, the prosecutors won't have anything to pin most people with, but oh oops look this guy posts two years ago he thought it would be funny to bring soup cans to a protest. If you have a shitty lawyer... might just be fucked. Probably get charged with some bullshit about attempting to incite a riot. Maybe Stephen "Adolf" Miller will get some executive orders pushed through instructing the FBI/ATF/NSA (whoever else) to broaden the definition of terrorism to include being vocally anti-Israel or anti-police so when you get picked up protesting your life gets stamped out.
As far as some sort of goonsquad Gestapo going door to door arresting the best posters... never say never, etc. but that's one of the most unlikely events, imo. The feds love and have a history of "let them cook..." then they throw everything you ever said ever in your face in court. Make some prominent "examples", the chirping quiets down, they got what they wanted.
All I do is post fake news what would they do to me
make an example of you to inspire fear in others, like the Cop City bail fund organizers
(probably not)
(but maybe)
If anything Melina getting thrown in a black van would be a plus 1 for the Feds considering how much people hate fake news
