Imagine a world where gpg encryption was the norm instead of something that only works reliably in Emacs.

This wouldn't have happened if Kash Patel used Emacs, that's right.

I think it's a pretty cynical take that an Emacs user will never be made FBI director.

How would GPG help? GPG is as safe as your private key is. If someone gets "hacks you" and gets access to your private key, it's over

GPG keys are typically guarded much better than emails, that's the whole point. Accessing e-mails can be done by guessing a password, to get to the key you basically need command execution on the target's client system.
