With trump being guaranteed to win the 2024 election and it also being likely that the state will be much more violent, what do you think is going to happen in the US over the next few years?

If you are concerned, I recommend you register as a Republican as a bare minimum. If you’re doxed or someone tries to compile a list, they might be lenient. You gotta remember that a lot of minorities are also Republicans, so they likely won’t target you if they know you’re nominally on their team.

Of course it’s irrelevant if they make an impromptu choice to assault you on the street for bigoted reasons, but if you’re a visibly straight, white person, not too many downsides. Maybe unless you vote locally and now you’re stuck with just republican candidates.

This was my exact thought process. Someone is going to make a list and try to pull a donor list from democrats in Congress who are already too spineless to stand up to Biden.

I was legitimately thinking about donating to Trump’s campaign or even take a picture of my mailed ballot showing I voted for him. Just to buy time.

The key is to do everything possible to keep the target off your back to get in a better situation. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Unironically decided to do the same, in case the worst happens. Plus I use it as a good rhetorical device if anyone ever drags me into a conversation.

“Hey, I’m a republican like everyone else too! I AM a reactionary, BUT…”
