I think that this situation we find ourselves in is hopefully saved by the past - specifically, the secret ballot. In light of Cancel Culture this gives people a sense of safety - because without it, you can be 100% certain many voting stations would have leftists trying to attach names to votes and creating lists. As Yuri Bezmenov points out: the CIA had difficulty understanding how the Viet Cong could locate and kill so many people in such a short and quick time - how did they know they were getting the right people? Because there was previous intelligence, people who's name had been put on lists, so when the killing started they knew exactly who to go for.
I don't think this would happen in the United States to any large degree - maybe a handful of crazy people would go all in for that. But I think a shockingly large minority would be happy to cancel anyone who they could prove voted for Trump, and that is very much part of what they do online.
I think one way of looking at this election would be simply that they are trying to cancel Trump as best they can - but instead of being able to start campaigns to harass employers or corporations or platforms, they have to cancel him through at the ballot box - and it's a secret ballot, so people can vote exactly how they want. A vote for Trump is essentially also a vote to cancel Cancel Culture.
Granted, a Trump loss would be terrible for the country, but they wouldn't stop there if they were successful, they'd try to stop any single thing he does outside of office as well. I do not think this will happen though, I think at the very least he will have a larger electoral victory than his first win. The tactics of the left to smear and obscure and muddy all waters is the only thing that has me concerned about Trump's re-election chances.
about fuckin time, also can't wait for term 2, not optimistic with blatant voter fraud but still hopeful
