People who are into outdoor gear either know or find out soon that DEET is bad for synthetics lol
It's also worth noting that permethrin treatments can last through multiple washes.
Like I said in the OP:
Use DEET or picaridin on skin.
Use Permethrin on your gear (just keep the liquid you use to treat your gear away from cats).
DEET will melt a lot of other synthetic stuff too like tents, tarps, straps, etc.

Dumbass?
Admittedly, I can do better. Might edit later if I feel inspired.
If anything like this becomes widespread, you can bet people will figure out all sorts of ways around it and if it becomes problematic enough, they'll probably just stop using it entirely.
Sure, there's been talk of banning encryption as well, but practically speaking, that would be an unmitigated disaster in terms of security alone.
People will just shift to different words or avoid that means of communication entirely. If you're interested in learning more about attempts like this, read up on the great firewall and all the ways people figured out ways around it.
It would be easy to implement something, but it would not be easy to create an effective system that was extremely difficult or impossible to circumvent.
Even if they achieved a perfect system on a technical level, people would still find ways around it. It's far more complicated and involved than it might seem at first glance. On top of that, free expression is extremely engraved in American culture: Odds are good that implementing such a system would result in a far worse mess than whatever they were attempting to "clean up" in the first place.
Technically possible? In the strictest sense, sure I guess?
Practically speaking though, it'd probably be a mess to manage and likely trivial to circumvent for anyone with a little knowledge and an IQ above room temperature.

80% is totally possible, it can go up to 100% for deep woods protection.
As I recall, it doesn't melt every single type of plastic, just some to most of them as well as probably things like dyes, adhesives, etc.
