What is the plan when he cuts off our cell coverage?

[ybbor]

It will happen, I fear, and then how will we communicate? They will be able to “corral” us with no warning to others. We are deeply in the new hellscape formerly known as the USA.

1. Well why would the Repukes want to do that?

They live on their cell phones, and it's the source of all their information. Most of them have never read a book, they only know what 's programmed on their phones. I don't think this will ever happen.

[ybbor]

2. I'm thinking of regional "unplugging"

Like, all the cell towers in a liberal area disconnected while the gestapo rolls into town. That kind of thing. I hope you’re correct, but I can see it happening.

15. If Chump shut down all the cellphones, who would read his idiotic Xweets?

He'd lose his entire audience.

22. I guess we would all just have to meet up at antifa Headquarters

3. Ham radio

Walkie talkie, CB, microwave transmission, all assuming those devices haven’t been destroyed by EMP (electromagnetic pulse) by then. I haven’t kept up with current technology, but it would be great to wirelessly transmit ‘packets’ of data containing messages, etc.. I’m guessing not a lot of endeavor has been put into technology involving ‘old school’ means of communication.

21. Meshtastic

Plenty of advances have been made in this field.
Look up “Meshtastic” which is a low cost, low power radio network that uses nodes to create a network to communicate with.

23. this Meshtastic looks interesting

with the solar-powered relays(nodes?) people are making and putting up
(especially the birdhouse ones)

4. Sign up for Trump Mobile?

If there is no cell service, there will be a lot of problems for everyone including just basic life needs like picking up kids at school and doing work.

More likely they will try to regulate the internet providers and block any content that this regime finds objectionable. Then you'll need a VPN like some other countries.

5. Take over of the media is a more likely thing.

Already happening.

6. They won't do that.

How else are the fascists and authoritarians going to track you?

Not since the invention of the automobile has there been a more effective tool for limiting our freedoms.

Your cell phone is a leash around your neck and your automobile restricts where you might go.

7. Not going to happen.

[eShirl]

8. we will communicate by means of travelling bards and troubadours

start tuning up your lutes

17. Finally...

A thoughtful, and cogent answer to my concerns! I will sleep soundly tonight. 🤣🤣🤣

10. Meet at the library

It's the last place they'll think of.

[Norbert]

11. QR codes are used for everything

If they cut off cell coverage, it would cripple industry, warehousing, shopping... Not that they aren't stupid enough or indifferent enough to try it but I can't see it happening.

12. I doubt he has the guts to piss off mobile network operators. (nt)

[JCMach1]

16. Nope, how else can they track and monitor you?

19. Find sobering that Trump has turned Department of Defense into Department of War.

We might have a much worse situation.

Trump and others think humanity are toys and most in excess.

20. I still have a landline...

oops, AOL quit the dial up access… my bad!
