Yes Trump is a dictator and a fascist, but it's way worse than you think. The Real ID Act of 2005 languished for 20 years, after many states rebelled against the first national ID in the nation's history. Now Trump is putting it on the front burner, by ordering that it be required for domestic air travel, unless you have a passport, and entry into federal facilities that your tax dollars paid for, as well as pay the salaries of everyone working inside. You will need it to enter national parks, and then hospitals.
It's not hard to see that pretty soon you will need it for taking a crap.
Real ID is nothing like your Social Security number, because Social Security is strictly limited on what sorts of information it can gather on you. Not so Real ID, where the sky is the limit. Your Social Security number cannot be connected to a high-resolution, facial recognition scan.
Below is MAGAtard DHS Secretary Kristi Noem helping Trump your rights away.
The Trump administration insists that Real ID is not a central database, but it is. Ominously, the first thing Trump did on his first day in office was announce the massive Stargate database centers, which can hold the massive amounts of data storage that Real ID and facial recognition scans will require.

"the RFID chip within [a Real ID/Enhanced Drivers Licence] has a unique ID number linked to a secure Department of Homeland Security (DHS) database..."
A Real ID and an Enhanced Drivers License are essentially the same thing, both issued by the Department of Homeland Security.

That central database can then be built out to link to any information the DHS decides, like facial recognition scans, financial records, and medical records.
It is inevitable that national Real ID will eventually include high-resolution, facial recognition scans, so detailed that you can be identified on the street in real time by street cameras. The software is already facial recognition compatible.
The Papers Please Identity Project writes:
“Digital Image Access” (DIA) component of [Real ID] software suite… is already designed to be compatible with automated facial recognition software. The logical next step, of course, would be to add some sort of “hash” or “template” representing each photo to the corresponding SPEXS pointer record, to make it easier to carry out national photo matching and search.”
This should be terrifying to anyone who does not trust Trump, and believes he would put his political opponents in jail if he could.
Just as recently April 27, 2025, The Atlantic Magazine warned Americans that "The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans."
There is push-back. Refuse Real ID is one of the main groups opposing, with the campaign "Stop Real ID" (Below)
As for action in state legislatures, The Portland Press Herald writes in "Maine lawmakers want state to stop issuing Real ID cards":
"Rep. Laurel Libby said her bill to end the Real ID program in Maine is one of several being submitted nationwide in hopes of convincing President-elect Donald Trump and Congress to end the controversial requirement."
In Congress Senators like Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden were recently making noise about opposing facial recognition, but have fallen strangely silent.
