If the Rapist Felon continues to characterize Democrats as Communists, as left-wing views as treasonous, as terrorist Antifa members hiding under every rock -- we should expect the full force of the feds to come down on us.

Would DU survive a demand for all the IP addresses and emails of its members? Could the DOJ (or Palantir) link those emails to real people? Could those people be interrogated, imprisoned or deported?

How many DU users are in fear of ICE? Or should be?

Disclaimer: I'm not a darkweb expert, but I would guess that having access to DU via the darkweb might provide some protection beyond an individual's (your) resistance to oppression?
