"Require IDs" for what? That seems like very important context here?
Showing a driver's license to a police officer when stopped for a traffic violation seems reasonable to me. Showing a passport when crossing an international border seems reasonable. Showing some sort of ID to vote seems reasonable. Showing some sort of ID to receive social security or some other government-issued money seems reasonable. Showing a hunting or fishing license to a game warden seems reasonable.
But showing a government ID to access a website or post something online or walk down the sidewalk or buy something from a store would all seem unreasonable, dystopian and police-statey.

(that is only for them? lot of old people I can't tell if they are male/female, better check their documents) (NC law, struck down during Democratic times, now back on table) Carry proof of Citizenship at all time's. (that is only for non-citizens? Really, everyone needs proof or how do authorities know?) (Arizona Law, struck down during Democratic times, now back on table) Once you are trying to target one group, you actually impact everyone, because, everyone needs the IDs to prove they aren't in the targeted group.
