this kind of thing is why I do not advertise my politics at all. no bumper stickers or yard signs or campaign t shirts. im even registered without a party so you can't look up my affiliation. and I don't talk politics on the internet because nothing is truly anonymous. if someone wants to come after you they will be able to find you with enough effort.

Sounds like you're not loyal enough to The Party. If you were a good citizen, you wouldn't have anything to hide. Throw him in the gulag!
