The way you defeat it, is a constitution that explicitly protect these rights and empowering a court that will strike down laws that violate those rights.

Yeah about that: These laws get passed. They are enacted. People challenge them in court. The court strikes it down after a long time. Another slightly differently worded law with the same content gets passed and enacted. People challenge it in court…

Or well, the Authoritarian scum just ignore the courts.

What is needed is a strong resistance on every level. This needs to be brought to media attention, needs to be protested, the people behind it need to be public ousted, shamed and stripped from all power, the companies behind it need to be boycotted and sabotaged so they go out of business…

Waiting for courts to deal with things does not cut it with authoritarians. They only understand collective power against them.

Maybe laws should require judicial review before they get enacted.
