I think a lot of people wouldn't like me as much as they already don't.

Oh I'm so fucking dead. Like, queer anarchist factory worker in Ohio dead
I'd be assassinated by pig before I took ten steps.
I'd be fine, I think. Might find out one or two things about neighbours that they'd rather wasn't known, but I don't think there's anyone who would take great offence at my views, even if they opposed them. And I've nothing I'd want to hide.
I actually kind of like this scenario, as a way for people to understand that what they think about something may be far from the majority position.
I'm pretty fucked. First of all it's going to be several paragraphs because I don't neatly fit an ideology and then there's something to piss off every group.
Does it apply to people online?
Does it apply to people on a television screen?
Does it apply to videos of people in the past, who have since changed their beliefs?
What do I see if someone has convinced they are somebody else? Whose beliefs do I see?
I kind of understand the premise ("what happens if we can't hide our beliefs anymore") but the details are too important to gloss over
What kinda Googlebook data powers are those that know me better than I know myself?
I’d be fine every where I go unless there’s a lot of religious people around.
Oh no, people now will know I am a stoic communist and real socialist even without me plastering my political believes in each discussion even vaguely related to politics or economics.
Nice
I'm homeless and unemployed by the end of the day and have to flee the state. Both my landlord and general manager are hardcore MAGAts, and I live in a small, remote town in a very red state. It would genuinely not be safe for my politics to be known.
Depends who's looking. Most of the poor and middle class ~~asking~~ align with my views, if I don't say scary words like "communist” and "socialist"; Those with huge incomes might have a problem. And my ex who aligns with my views but votes against them because they somehow think these people care about them.
Universal Healthcare? Fuck I'd settle for Healthcare that works.
Just... anything I want anything good, any change possible. Obviously that makes me a 'traitor' to society or whatever. Why does it just keep getting worse?!
So anyway, they'd burn me at the stake.
People have signs on their front lawn showing who they support. In a way, your hypothetical has been happening for decades. A lot of people don't hide who they vote for.
Not very.
I'd be okay, especially considering the propensity for violence part of the announcement.
Not very no. I'm probably not a polical anomaly of any kind, but some of my acquaintances might be surprised as I'm usually attributed to more extreme beliefs by those who don't know me as well.
Can't understand why since my voiced opinions aren't different than what the majority holds.
Well considering politics isn't something I've spent a lot of my time thinking about, and I suspect my ideas are somewhat under developed. Because of which I'd love to take a look at that scoreboard and see what it says about me. Because I have no clue what I truly believe anymore.
I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.
Fucked
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.
I’d be fine. I’m self righteous and tell everybody my leftists views anyway.
I'm an anarchist but I've never wanted to hurt the people around me; so i'm not sure.
