I'm not OP but I imagine they might be thinking that Trump will find a way to punish it, with him being a fascist and all. Just imagine you'd had done this with Hitler in 1932. By 1934 your life would basically be over.

If people already assume this, the right response is to use him for everything and starting to stand up in form of a protest

My guess is that it would cause people like myself who intensely dislike him to avoid your technology because of the association.

If I don't like it, I won't show it to my boss, he won't see it, and our company won't use your technology.

Same could be said for showing Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris for the other side, or Putin or Kim Jong Un or Mohammad and Jesus

A smart tactic would be to avoid sensitive figures in general if your goal is to have your technology adopted by a wide audience.

I never thought americans were this weak and pathetic. Y'all always screamed about "muh guns" and stuff like that, but now... You're just sitting idly while your new king takes over, even discouraging others to do anything that may upset your supreme ruler?

These people who complain are the guys who don't have guns.

Can't they just buy some? There's been loads of arguments on HN about how the right to own guns is seen as important, just for cases like this.

They are the ones arguing against the use of guns for cases like this. They are in the worse situation, either they lose or their ideology does.

		They don't have an ideology. They just parrot talking points aimed at stripping their rights away. Even the 1A is on the block because of "misinformation, hate speech, etc."

(To be fair, though I'm not in USA / an American, if we're going to stereotype and generalize unfairly, it seems it's largely the "Muh Guns" folks you refer to that support/vote for Trump and the like).
