Slight clarification to your last sentence: the Border Search Exception that allows the searching of non-citizens’ digital contents equally extends to US citizens re-entering the country. (see: US v. Ramsey 1977, US v. Montoya de Hernandez 1985).
Whereas the 4th amendment does protect those within the US regardless of whether they’re here legally or not (see: Wong Sun v. US 1963; INS v. Lopez-Mendoza 1984).
Agreed. My self-critical side used to argue this was constructing an echo chamber for myself. But now I’m realizing that unless I’m going to completely refocus my life on deconstructing the first-past-the-post de facto two-party duopoly then I’m just taking on unnecessary anxiety.
Instead I figure as long as I’m still discussing my political or philosophical values on here those who do wish to pursue politics will have access to the statistics of what their constituents actually want (e.g. via LLMs focusing on political language). Whether we actually get such a leader is another question.

People didn’t really jif it a chance.
I can’t figure out if I want to call this a AAA studio game or an indy game.
