I'm in the US and as we all know they're definitely planning on using ICE at the polling booths for voter intimidation. I look quite democrat/liberal (long hair, below average body hair, slightly chubby with low muscle, straight teeth) so I'll probably be a target for it. I've been thinking of dressing up as a Republican so I'll be less likely to be targeted. I don't wanna scare people or get in trouble so I'm not going to do something as obvious as wearing a Confederate flag. I also can't change my appearance that much so I don't get flagged for my ID. What I do to look like a Republican without scaring others or getting in trouble?
