This pains me to admit...but quite frankly I'm reluctant to donate to the Trump campaign. Donations are public record, and I'm afraid of retribution. I'm just wondering whether anyone else shares this same reluctance.

I don't share that concern. But your concern may be legitimate, especially if you live deep behind enemy lines. Or if your boss is cray cray.

No. I have been donating to the Trump campaign since 2016 and donate as a recurring monthly sum.
I am not very brave, no Trump sign, no hat worn outside, I know my car would get keyed. I would not forgive myself if I didn’t donate & Biden won. Fear of reprisal pales compared to a Biden presidency.

Are you surrounded by animals or do you live out in the sticks?

If you are in the sticks, lock n load, and I doubt they are going to take the city bus out to your place.

Personally I don’t worry about it. If they are going to deal retribution, they will get shot by someone and it will end. The animals are more scared of us then we are of them. Notice they only attack in packs

Personally am more afraid of Democrats gaining control of our country than I am of retribution from those morons of the left. Mr. Twelve Gauge, and multiples of others have my back on that.

easy solution. give $100 to the Biden campaign and three dollars to the Trump campaign therefore you can say you were non-partisan even though you’re really giving it to her dollars to trump.

Admittedly not addressing your point...
Donate to a House Senate or state candidate.
Trump has this.

I don’t think you have to worry about retribution unless there is something specific to your situation.

They won’t take cash app. Only credit card which seems a bad strategy. I don’t want ANY campaign having my credit card info.

Put cash in an envelope and mail it, they’ll find a way to spend it. Or volunteer your time.

I'm afraid of retribution

Me too. That's why I'm going to start donating to Trump on a weekly basis so that those who would be coming for retribution won't get into power.

I take my name showing up on a Trump donor list as a badge of honor. The more times it appears, the better.

I was reluctant to contribute since every mailer, ad or plea had the RNC knee deep in the organization. I finally have made contributions to (Donald J. Trump for President INC.) only because it was the only mailer without the RNC hanging their hat on. Who knows, maybe they still get their hooks in there, but I hate the thought of the RNC using money intended for the Presidents campaign going to the likes of the RINO’s like Mittens.

How you vote is already on record. When I did calls for the GOP in Illinois, the contact spread sheet listed every registered voter in my district and how the voted going back quite a few years.

At some point you have to take a stand. When will that be?

I intentionally gave more than 200 bucks so it would show up on the FEC site. $230, for that matter - one for each vote to impeach him, on the day of his impeachment.

Am I aware it could put me at risk? Yes.

But I am also late middle age, and pretty much have no f-cks to give anymore.

Bring it on, I’m done.
