Kind of short sighted only consider social cancellation. People in power change, laws get applied retroactively. History is full of people who get purged from stuff that was fine when it was written

replyUnless you're in the nebulous situation of being Hispanic in the US, in which case you might get profiled. Or you might have family with jobs that are subject to pressure -- and right now, that seems like most jobs, because calling employers spineless is an insult to worms. Or if you'd like to travel by air, because watchlists are back, and carriers may just refuse service.
replyFair enough. I am in a category that’s typically lower risk (though not zero) for profiling, so sometimes I forget that. Still, the potential risk isn’t a good reason to silence your voice if there are issues that you find important. The best defense is to avoid giving out personal details and avoid discussion on non-pseudonymous social sites.
