In a cashless society, everyone would have a bank account.
Nobody wants to cut off people from the economy. Whether you want a cashless society or not.
They do though.
I recommended reading about statelessness. Some 4…5million people are stateless. As a result, they often don't have and cannot obtain any documents. Have you tried opening a bank account without documents? (Spoiler: basically impossible in most countries)

You're right, let's switch to a cashless society, there's no way someone like Trump could win again and decide to delist all his political enemies and of course "those dirty nwords and queers" to help his complete dictatorship style takeover of America. I mean, it's not like the Nazis forced the Jewish population to report their wealth right after the anschluss so that they'd be able to steal it easier during aryanization which one legal advisor for the Nazi Ministry of Economics deemed the “forerunner to a complete and definitive removal of Jews from the German economy.”
And of course it's not like making all currency digital and controlled by the same government that would be taken over by said cult of personality would make that even easier to do this time around or anything. Don't worry though of course "that could never happen here."
