USA person here. I’ve never seen or heard anything about registering as Republican to avoid scrutiny. I understand why, with all the voter rolls being seized, one may be afraid of being a registered Dem; but I don’t believe any such trend currently exists.
I do, however, fully agree with your sentiment. The wide-spread “Midterms” hope-sheeping has led us to sleepwalk into fascism. In these two years that liberals have used for little more than marches with snarky signs, we have normalized the complete erasure of security on our property; encroached upon the First Amendment to make it commercially nonviable; normalized racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia; normalized government violence against civilians; and allowed our government to run concentration camps.
If there is a violent reaction to any blue wave, which there may very well be, the Republicans are far more equipped now than they were in 2020/2021. With the inadequacy of the USA populace and every institution—both which have rotted for decades—the only way the USA can be saved is if the alt-right willingly erases itself. I don’t see that happening.
