Let say as an influencer I openly support Kamala like what LeBron did for Hillary Clinton. I might face some tongue lashing from right wing media but nothing too harsh. Now that I look back on this, he was preemptively protecting himself by getting politically involved rather than being neutral showing he had no support for Trump. You don't want these people assuming anything because you are silent.
Now let's say I am full hard-core MAGA, strange things to happen to them:
1. Falling out of of a ten story building to their death.
2. Countries wanting to take them out with assassins when they travel out of the country.
3. Medical Problems.
4. Coming down with Covid-20 and other viruses, engineered bioweapons
5. Wifey leaving them and being stretched out by the personal trainer, which is broadcasted by TMZ.
6. Accused of crimes and charged.
I have to be careful being a proponent of any candidate because it could lead to deadly consequences which I have experienced. I am not an influencer, people do not listen to my schizophrenic ramblings.
This is a form of censorship, cleverly disguised where openly supporting a candidate you might face verbal or written criticism. if you support the other candidate, the pain train is coming for you. It is about targeting influencers.
