I’m thinking that software like Signal, Bitwarden, Firefox and RHEL is more likely to be pushed (by unconventional methods) to introduce backdoors under Trump 2.0. Less complex software that is developed by an international community is of course less suseptible.

What do you think? Will the risk be higher during Trump 2.0 or is the FOSS community diverse and international enough? Am I just paranoid and irrational?

Closed source software and cloud is of course a no brainer since always. But clompex FOSS with centralized development and hosting pretty much suffers from the same problem.

    Paranoia is good, but in this case, all the software you mentioned may already be compromised.
