I believe it will be much more subtle and effective than a simple ‘passport’ and that its implementation is inevitable in many places. You won’t in fact need to show your papers - you are your papers. The technology exists today for every business, government building, all public transportation, etc. to be fitted with simple facial recognition systems which will grant or deny access to services based on your social credit score. Those who are not vaccinated and boosted (anti-science, covid-deniers), those who have been found guilty of ‘hate speech’ (you’d better get your pronouns right), those who are aligned with insurrectionists (Trump supporters), etc. will become a new subclass of deplorables and will be righteously shunned from proper society.
It will start in the liberal, urban centers (NYC, San Francisco, etc) and be adopted by the more ‘woke’ businesses (Amazon, Apple,…) and most of the residents and patrons of those locales and entities will humbly and even joyfully submit.
I see no means by which this does not occur in the most-blue cities and states. It is merely a matter of time. A few more variants, a couple of mass shootings, a natural disaster or two and the trifecta of health/equity/climate will align to save us from ourselves.
We need to stop deluding ourselves. Places like the UK, Canada, Australian, California, Washington, and New York are utterly lost. They are never coming back from this. Their march toward totalitarianism is advanced and its completion inevitable. The only path forward for those of us who would follow a different path is Balkanization. Get out of the blue hell-holes. You*cannot* save them. They are gone and gone for good.
Like-minded individuals must align. Red states must become more red and begin weaning themselves from the tit of the federal government. Only then might we have a chance of salvaging some vestiges of liberty in those parts of the country where they are still held dear.
I have hope for MA even though it is o e if the epicenters..,,the people are cheap and cash is still preferred. I’m hoping this can ignite some sort of spirit of 76….

The Republic is fracturing.
