That's only if you don't believe the deep state is actually in a current war with the US.

I know that our government commonly uses crises to strip rights. The crisis may be real. But it will still be used to grab power from the people.

Locking out people is a symptom of ceding sovereignty. Own yourself, no one else will.

Yes. The Democrats and Republicans have continuously been taking the rights of Americans through crises. You aren't going to get those rights back anytime soon because the Trump admin is using all those powers implemented by the previous governments to spy on the Democrats and Republicans traitors to hold them accountable. The government currently has the power legally to spy on anyone. The majority of rights have been gone long ago but Trump is on our side. Don't lose hope.
