I agree with all of your sentiments, I just don't think that tactically this approach results in a useful outcome.

In what way does downplaying the possible consequences help tactically?

I'm hoping that if more people realize the implications of this horrible law, there's more chance of the lobotomized public actually exerting some pressure on our supposed representatives to actually represent us.

It's unlikely given the media has been painfully silent on the horrible implications of this terrible law.
