Not sure what fantasy land you live in but it is far from ended.. Do you really think the CCP won't eventually ram it through?

My understanding is that the HK Internet exchange for Hong Kong is hosted at the university. Would taking that down black out Hong Kong?

Exactly this. There was a video released yesterday on the HK subreddit showing what seemed to be a special unit of "police" who bore no badges or any identification past riot shields emblazoned with "police" at the university. These dudes looked huge compared to everyone else there.

2/3 = 66% So if I ate 66% of a cake you just ordered, and handed you back the rest would that not be considered a vast majority of your cake?

That is patently false.. By definition criminals do not follow the letter of the law, a good example being that murder is already illegal. Strangely enough though, it still happens. Weird right? So would it also make sense that even if guns are illegal that maybe some bad actors would still have and use them in an illegal manner? Disarming law abiding citizens is all you're doing. Full stop.

It may very well not be normal, however for three years now I have heard people screaming some variation of wolf ad nauseam. Whether it be a russian wolf, an orange wolf, a ready to start WW3 wolf or whatever else you can think of. It is just so incredibly tiring because as of yet there has been no wolf to speak of..

Ah yes, get to the airport 5 hours early everytime you want to fly so you can go through that process buddy. That's a huge barrier to entry, one that is clearly not taken advantage of very often because the vast majority of Americans have an ID..

Then by all means make them stay open more often instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water. Voter ID is important and should certainly include provisions in the legislation to help make it easier for people to get a government issued ID. However, for most people in America I would wager that this is not the case at all and you have just cherry picked an edge case to suit your argument.

I am not sure where you live but in the U.S. flying without an ID of some sort is impossible, and an accepted ID other than a drivers license all have an arguably larger barrier to entry than going to the DMV and paying the ~$10 and an hour+ of your time. That or you are someone with an inordinate amount of resources available to you and are looking at this problem through rose colored glasses.

Clearly you haven't tried to do half of these things without an ID.. and a good portion of the other half would likely be illegal. You are correct about the constitutional right however.

To do a laundry list[1] of other things that I would consider less important than voting requires an ID, which in turn requires you to go to the dreaded DMV. Is it the duty of the government to provide the ID for these people? Nope.

Consider if you will how well we fared in Korea, Vietnam, and in the Middle East against farmers and normal folks. As a Texan myself, I'd like to point out that a large percentage of the United States military happens to originate from or was stationed in our great state. I happen to think we would fare quite well in your hypothetical scenario..
