In the current US I don't think it's reasonable to believe that we can trust that something like digital IDs would not be abused. That does not necessarily mean that there are not other locations or times where that trust might be warranted.
Specifically, it's likely that police and/or national security would use them in ways that would result in false arrests and/or chilling online behavior. It is also becoming increasingly likely that Christian Nationalists would use them to censor speech that they don't like and/or to persecute people that they disagree with.
