Trump says China is evil

Yet he's having this Palantir database store everything similar to China's social credit score:

-Tax filings

-Student debt

-Social Security

-Bank accounts

-Medical claims

-Immigration status

Former Republican Representative Justin Amash: "The surveillance state...the police state...the deep state......are alive & well under Trump. He signed bills to extend & expand mass surveillance. Now he's building profiles' on millions of law-abiding Americans. It's an extraordinary threat to liberty." [1]

The real move is not to debate this stuff, but to prevent it from being in the database to begin with. It's hard to opt out of everything, but a good start is Linux, Degoogled phone, cryptocurrency, and encrypted messengers. Then self-host email and use VoIP (when a regular number is required). Finally consider buying things from parallel legal systems and economies. Slowly the resistance grows, through improving people's lives, and not violence on the street.

Ironically, the more you resist, the less dirt they have on you. And the better your "social credit score".
