I think the left needs to play the game we at once point half jokingly accused trump of. Start committing acts so obviously outside of the intent of the law, but safely within the letter of the law, that the right takes advantage of it and sues our changes the law to tighten the loopholes. Fire people for being Christian, forbid a newspaper from reporting a negative story, publicly accept insider information and bread about how much money you made by knowing when to buy and sell, openly accept a bribe by starting a fake crypto, and cashing out right after a foreign company buys it for a million per coin and then dumps it. Make people understand openly how many hidden rules are free and open for the rich and political and shut them down.
I don't think that this will work what will probably end up happening is that the trump administration will only go after democrats who do this while ignoring anything coming from the republican party.
Even if it did I don't think the response to the trump administration taking our civil liberties away is to take more of them away I don't think anything positive can come from this.
In addition this will be used as propaganda to rile up their base
If people can't understand that the trump administration is taking away civil liberties I don't think democrats abusing the same rules will convince them.
It's only half joking, and this wouldn't be assumed at the administration but in demonstrating the loopholes in the laws that already exist. Too many people see Republicans doing it and letting them get away with it and look the other way. The idea would be to do things that are disliked but legal, and would make Republicans look weak if they ignore it when the enemy does it.
