What about that time you posted a meme to your friends discord server making fun of Donald Trump?
This is a good example because they can and have started going after this type of stuff. I think it's still going to be failing for some time, but that they even try, that people even get arrested is terrifying.
The best way I can explain it to people is that you think you have nothing to hide now but you think that because you agree with the government. Maybe a good way to explain it to conservative folks would be to say something like "what if they imprisoned you for sharing your religious beliefs?"
Even if it's real, it could just be a typo and editorial oversight.
