America is a failed state, with a highly vindictive and lawless Democratic Party.
It is no longer safe for any Conservative or Libertarian to answer any form of political opinion survey, by phone, internet, paper mail, or street interview.
The sneeker-net surveys are probably safe, at least until the Deep-State breaks the encryption.

Oh, the melodrama! Let’s unpack this piece by piece, shall we? “America is a failed state.” That’s rich. Failed states don’t boast an economy so robust that it not only weathered a global pandemic but recovered faster than almost any other developed country. In a truly “failed state,” you don’t have checks and balances, free elections, or courts still capable of indicting the highest officials -- regardless of party -- when laws are broken.
Next up, the "highly vindictive and lawless Democratic Party." Vindictive? Lawless? You mean the party that pushed for criminal justice reform, fought to curb police abuses, and passed significant anti-corruption laws? Or maybe it’s that they finally dared to hold accountable a former president who openly defied the law. As for lawless -- no, that’s reserved for those who toss law and order out the window every time they don’t get their way, insisting on overturning elections and disregarding court rulings.
And this idea that Conservatives and Libertarians aren’t "safe" to answer political surveys? What is this, a Hollywood thriller? Since when has responding to an anonymous, third-party survey endangered anyone’s life or liberty? No one’s monitoring you from behind a two-way mirror or hacking into your computer because you clicked on “Conservative” in a survey. It's not 1984. No one cares if you favor deregulation or lower taxes. If anything, the real danger is the absurdity of this kind of paranoia going unchecked.
Finally, the pièce de résistance -- “sneaker-net surveys” being “safe until the Deep State breaks the encryption.” The “Deep State” -- the ultimate boogeyman for any conspiracy enthusiast. So now we’re supposed to believe that some shadowy government agency is just itching to intercept surveys of libertarian opinions? If that were true, it’d be the least efficient use of tax dollars ever devised. A government keen on "breaking encryption" to find out which flavor of free-market ideals you hold dear would be a government so incompetent it couldn’t find its way out of a paper bag.
If you want to criticize the system, be my guest. There’s plenty to debate, discuss, and yes, even improve. But please, do the rest of us a favor and base it in reality.
