I would caution to not A) Underestimate Trump even after he returns to civilian life, or B) Overestimate the ability of the Dems to actually work with each other to accomplish much, especially when the Senate is split 50-50 and the house close to it.
The last 4 years the Dems have basically been unified in their hatred of Trump. But once you take Trump out of the equation then that unity falls apart and the dishonesty and double standards they've had for years will come out against each other.

It depends if they make it their mission in life to hunt down Trump supporters and send them off to gulags.

They wouldn't even agree on how to do that. That's the nature of barbarians. If they aren't even honest with themselves, they won't be honest with each other.
Life goes on. The world has seen many injustices in the past 10,000 years. What I honesty see and keep hyping is crypto currency. Without control of the monetary system, oppressive governments fall apart. And with crypto, there's an opportunity to remove control of the monetary system.
I consider owning some a patriotic act, and a lucrative one as well.

I'd be very nervous owning any significant amount of crypto. It doesn't even really exist, it's just numbers that float around that can disappear at any time.
My biggest concern is the gun confiscation they're going to try to pull off. At this point it'd be the match that lights the fuse, and it's anyone's guess what'll happen once that fuse is lit.

I'm very comfortable with it, though I have the advantage of being in the computer field so I fully understand the nature of it.
It's not like you lose it if your hard drive crashes or even if your home burns down. As long as you got your 12 word crypto key phrase memorized or written down somewhere safe, you're crypto is safe. Besides, you're already reasonably comfortable enough to have a bank account to hold your dollars and some 97% of dollars in existence exist only in electronic form. So I consider that concern to be illusionary.
As for gun confiscation, yes that would be as dangerous as you say, I'd wager. But there are 5 justices who certainly won't be agreeing to that, and the D's are not able to pack the court for at least the next 2 years.

How is that different than a saving/checking account or a piece of paper saying you (or I) own so many shares of Google?
All of this depends on social trust.
