Think of it like a video game HUD where there’s just text floating above a person’s head where you see all their political beliefs, including the degree of bigotry (if any), or whether or not the person believes in the use of violence to acheive polical goals, basically every little detail that would accurately depict people’s political beliefs. Your beliefs are also visible to others. This effect has 1KM radius, including people above and below you.

So, how fucked are you?

(Think of all the authorities in your area that can see your beliefs, including the beliefs regarding the recent incident…)

    Honestly, I’m not totally sure. I think a lot of people would look at me strangely because of my pretty hardcore libertarian views, though. And I might very well be a target for the police.

    As a something-between-liberal-and-leftist-with-a-hint-of-arm-yourself-to-fight-the-increasingly-popular-Nazis (is there a word for this?) in the middle of the cousin-fuckingly deep south… yeah I probably wouldn’t even survive the trip home from work.

    Not very. I’m pretty mild in my ideologies as far as scandinavia goes. Once traveling to the US again my presence would probably make Joseph McCarthy rise from his grave, though.

    I’m deep in Trump country. I wouldn’t even feel safe putting a Republicans Against Trump sign outside my house.

    I give it 48 hours before I’m a corpse.

    Ohio. In a region with a high percentage of trump supporting retired military (how tf that is even a demographic is beyond understanding)

    People will squint at me trying to figure me out a lot. My political beliefs are all over the place. My goal is clear (an egalitarian society that rewards hard work, but ensures a comfortable life for everyone, globally).
    But I have absolutely no idea what policies would achieve that.
    I’m just sure as shit neither Capitalism nor a state-controlled economy would. Probably leaning towards Anarchism.

    If authorities could see my beliefs, they could lock me up, cause they’re actually illegal.

      Funny. I moved from Oklahoma to California in March. I couldn’t take the idea of raising my daughter there. It’s nice here, I suppose, but I see almost as many trump flags here as I did there. Granted, there are way more people here so it’s only natural they do exist. I just didn’t think they would be so open about it. I’m sure some of that has to do with where in California I’m at, but it made me realize this shit is everywhere. At least, for now, my daughter will have access to what she needs or wants in the event something awful happens or if she decides she’s not who she was born as.

      Long story short, these right wing nuts are very much displaying their politics for the world to see, no matter where they are.
