"Trust" as in: trust it enough to run it on your machine.

Really depends on the level of disagreement. If its total idiocy like maga or monarchist or something I would likely stay away. If they don't think ubi is a good idea I can get passed that.

No. If I disagree with someone politically it's likely because they want me and anyone like me dead. Those people are dead to me.
