I know this is a dumb question... But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

Just use a free VPN like proton.

You can torrent on Proton’s free version now?

Nope. I was wrong about that. I just looked into it more and you can't. I have always had the paid version, I didn't realize that was one of the features missing from the free tier. My bad

Torrenting isn't the only way to pirate stuff and you can absolutely pirate on Proton's free version.
