Got my notice in the mail today. I feel like this is some sort of trap.

Thoughts?

I found it offensive that I was only given two gender choices.

Drumpf is definitely responsible for this.

Yes but I did not give them a phone number. If you submit and it then warns you in red text about a phone number, leave it blank and hit submit again and it will move on.

You realize the Federal Government has been doing a census every 10 years since 1790, right? If it were a trap I don’t think it would take over 200 years to spring the trap.

Fill out your census. I did mine online the other day and it look like 5 minutes.

ETA
Do they actually do anything if you don’t fill it out?

Waiting to see who survives Corona to make sure I give them a proper count.

Do you feel that way about the first 22 times the Census was conducted?

If you're smart you'll take a second to fill it out now, otherwise the Census Bureau will hound you until they get the information.

They'll send people to your house to ask you the questions.

A census worker will show up at your house. Just fill it out.

Oregon Trail style

I threw mine in a drawer somewhere. Is there any repercussions for putting down that my name is Guadalupe Rodriguez, I'm an unemployed undocumented immigrant single mother with 4 kids?

Yes. If you don't, then they won't count you when reallocating your representatives. If you want to be represented, they need to know you exist.

Want your share of your state's electoral vote to be represented? Fill it out.

I have no trespassing signs, beware of dogs, and no solicitation signs scattered throughout my property. If they ignore those, they will legally be trespassing and better hope God will have mercy on their souls.

Very good to know. They stalked me quite a bit a few years ago after I answered some questions for them the year prior. Drove 40 minutes out of town to try to track me down at my parents’ house (where I didn’t live) after they had been showing up to my old apartment every day and calling me 4-5 times a day.
