I would argue, that is the reason we got so many people to go out to No Kings.

Ok go ahead and surveil 7 million people, what the hell is that gonna do?

At that point you are just demonstrating your illegitimacy as a governing body while overloading your surveillance capacity with normal everyday people that are an overwhelming distraction from your authoritarian aims.

I would agree with this. Even with AI tools, trying to flag 2% of the country as "Antifa" and do anything meaningful will be entirely either impractical or a bridge too far.
